Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I started playing guitar around age 14. I wanted to be a drummer, but I couldn't afford a kit (I have one now though!). I was blessed with a good ear for music, so I taught myself how to play by listening to Zeppelin, Hendrix, and AC/DC records. Then thrash came along and I fell in love with bands like Megadeth, Sepultura, and Slayer. Around age 18 I bought a 4-track recorder and started writing my own tunes. Ever since then it's been a steady cycle of practicing, writing, and playing live.
I've played in several different bands over the years (Epstein's Mother, O for 2, Stellar, Counterpoint...). Some played modern rock covers, some played 60's rock/R&B, and some played only my original stuff. I've been a lead singer out of necessity, but I prefer to just play guitar and sing back-up. I've played plenty of 30-45 minute sets comprised of all original music. I have also played plenty of 4-hour nights with cover bands. I'm open to either.
