Joe Borak + Band in Allentown, PA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hey guys, I've been a drummer for 20 years, and played professionally for 10 of those 20. I had always dabbled on the guitar, and in recent years taken it much more seriously. Even more recently, I've taken to songwriting; been cranking out some stuff that I'm pretty happy with, but DEFINITELY needs a group behind it to sound right. So, I'm looking for a drummer, bassist, or anyone that fits to play in the Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton, and Philly area and see where it goes. Experience is a huge help, and easy going personalities welcome. Musically speaking, pretty straightforward Alternative rock, nothing too heavy or soft, just good music.
