SEEKING

Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Keyboard.

ABOUT

I am looking to experiment with with a willing lead guitarist and/or keyboardist needing an artistic outlet; meaning "not worried about playing covers to play out". (think "Jing Chi")

The ideal candidate would be versed in jazz and fusion but not married to it, and enjoy a good rip-snorting rock tune as well. Blues players welcome, but we are not forming a blues band.

Here's my number if you're serious and interested: 561-541-5342, Ft. LauderdalePompano area.

Currently involved with a guitarist/singer/songwriter on an original music project.
