I'm a guy getting back into playing with the goal of booking and playing live. I'm into original music exclusively. Definitely at my best with a guitar and singing. Many moons ago I was playing the club circuit in LA and was able to support myself solely as a musician. I'm writing new music currently that is pretty straight up rock and roll. I'm into effects and am finishing up putting together a new rig. Just have 4 more runs to solder and then I'm ready. Vocally I'm a bit of a crooner (Thom Yorkish) and can sing with some power. Not a very good screamer tho. I have plenty of free time and with a bit of cleaning up, should be able to provide adequate rehearsal space if needed. Can't wait to meet and jam with new people and see if we can get something rolling.
