SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Violin, Saxophone, Piano, Upright bass.ABOUT
Having recently moved back to Tallahassee, I am looking to either join an original band or start my own original band. I'm well-versed in many genres, but have a passion for progressive rock and jazz fusion, however, I am open to all genres.
I'm NOT INTERESTED IN JOINING A COVER BAND. Tallahassee is full of cover bands, and I'm done playing Brown-eyed Girl and Mustang Sally. I've got over an hour worth of original material, which is plenty for playing shows at original venues. I'm not opposed to tossing a handful of covers to fill out the set for a longer night, but I am NOT interested in playing covers.
My goal is to make awesome music with great people and constantly grow as a musician.
