Looking for a musical partner. (male or female)
I’m a songwriter/guitarist/singer located in Morro Bay who is primarily influenced by Beatlesque power pop & folk pop, 70’s melodic rock like Tom Petty, Eagles, Big Star, and 80’s and early 90’s alt college rock including the Replacements, The Lemonheads, XTC, Gin Blossoms, Cracker, and Wilco to name a few.
My favorite female singer/songwiters & singers are Lucinda Williams, Carol King, Linda Ronstadt, Dusty Springfield, Chrissy Hynde, Aimee Mann, Carly Simon, & Laura Nyro.
I also dig jazz and enjoy playing it (Check out the song Hypnotized - that I wrote). I love the great American Songbook.
I'm looking for an acoustic guitarist or bassist (male or female) with similar tastes in music that can share lead vocals and harmony with me. I'd like to resume my gigs at the Dockside restaurant in Morro Bay but as a duo and play any other local gigs we can get.
And If you are able to play some simple lead guitar fills, that would be a bonus! I can play some lead but the more the better.
I’m also into collaboration on originals and recording them. I’ve got a nice home studio with top of the line mics and Universal Audio equipment.

MUSIC

Superhero Tonight
Superhero Tonight
A powerpop guitar based tune I finally finished and found an arrangement I liked. I played all the guitars and sang lead vocal.

Wicked Ways
Wicked Ways Year: 2017 Genre: Rock
Another song I wrote based on a cool riff I came up with off the A chord. Wrote the song in the key of A but would like to re-record in B. I was trying to get a Bob Dylan Blonde On Blonde sound going for the intro but my guitar riff is a little out of tune. Also need to get a more Benmont Tench Hammond B3 sound as the current organ sounds more like a pad.

Never Let You Go
Never Let You Go Year: 2020 Genre: Rock
A song I wrote last month (October) for my wife Renee's Birthday. I came up with a cool guitar riff and wrote the song around the riff.

Surfwatch Theme
Surfwatch Theme Year: 2018 Genre: Classic Rock
A surf instrumental I wrote years ago but finally finished a couple years ago. I call it Surfwatch Theme after the CA State Parks Surfwatch Rescue Boats. I played the guitars and bass and my 21 year old son Eric is on drums.

Spaghetti Surfin'
Spaghetti Surfin' Year: 2020
Another Surf instrumental I wrote. Heavily influenced by Ennio Morricone hence the title, Spaghetti Surfin'. My son Eric plays the drums and I did all the guitar and bass work.
-
Hypnotized
Hypnotized Year: 2022 Genre: Jazz
Hypnotized is an original tune I wrote, inspired by the 50's & 60's big band vocal sound of Sinatra & Count Basie. The vocalist on this tune is Dennis Demille, who was a runner up on Britain's Got Talent in 2018. Dennis has the perfect baritone jazz vocal to to make this song swing!
