ABOUT

Well, I have been playing guitar since I was 12 and have been in a number of different bands. I have performed numerous gigs over the years with different line-ups. Primarily, I want to join a band whose members are mature, dedicated, and able to follow an arrangement in terms of measures or bars etc....I have tried to work with others who just don't have the drive, ambition, maturity, or talent needed to be a successful group. I desperately want to find people around my age or older who have what it takes to get out there and play. I am always willing to listen to suggestion, especially from those who have more experience than I do. I consider myself to be easy going, but have no patience for laziness or a half-assed approach to things.

Influences

I have tons of influences, but to sum it up, I guess I would say I love the blues first and foremost. I think the expression that a blues lead will often convey is hard to match in any other genre. Besides that though, my influences are also classic rock, rockabilly, folk, punk, 90's grunge, and even some hard rock (70's ACDC). I am able to adapt to pretty much any style for the most part, and have no problems with someone offering me a bit of instruction for the sake of progress.
