ABOUT

After a long break from bands- Since 2015 I have got back into the band scene .
A couple cover bands later, and an all original band for which I composed 48 songs in 9 months, complete w/lyrics, bass , guitars , everything but drums , which are computer generated.
Alas, the vocalist for the originals could not be found.

So now...

Lead guitarist in a Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band:

LynSkynyrd

Former Co-lead guitarist in an Aerosmith Tribute ROCKS Chicago

Former Co-lead guitarist in a Judas Priest tribute band Hell Patrol

Former co-lead guitar in a Judas Priest tribute band HELLION CHICAGO

Also, former lead guitarist in a 90's through now cover band DRIVEN

Any vocalists who would like to try some original songs-
I can send you :

-instrumental MP3s
-scratch vocal MP3s (myself singing the song)
- lyrics

All you need to lay a vocal track over the instrumental is:

a microphone,
a computer,
and an interface ( $100 ,maybe less).
There is free software Audacity out there to do this.

These songs were originally conceived with a male vocalist in mind, but can easily be tweaked for a female to sing.

All the songs below have lyrics (you need a cursor to hover over the song to see the lyrics).

All songs have professional vocalist, Freddy Krumins from Seattle singing the song except, Suckerpunch and Freedom, which has yours truly spitting out the words. He takes my instrumental tracks, lyrics and melodies, and makes vocal tracks in return (as outlined above).
