KickToTheJunk + Musician in Huntsville, AL

SEEKING

ABOUT

Catch me on FB. My name is Bob Soloman. Or me with kicktothejunk.
Local musician located in north Huntsville-Madison County area. Most recently a member of Passenger: A Tribute focusing on Incubus, Deftones and Tool songs.
Played in a few 'successful' local bands in the 90's and early 2000's. Took time off to raise my daughter. She just graduated and boom. Tried hooking up with other local artists I've been in bands with before and they either want to do a style I have no interest in or they want to nail down one single sound and stick to that. I'm fine for originals, covers, joke songs... As,long as it's fun and helps me forget how life can be so frustrating.
