ABOUT

May 17, 2023

Seeking: Lead Guitarist

I'm a West Georgia-based country music singer, songwriter, & recording artist. I play original music that is a combination of traditional and outlaw country with flavorings of southern rock, classic rock, and blues. I record in both Nashville and Atlanta. Currently in process of recording my fifth studio album.

Seeking second lead guitarist for upcoming gigs and video shoots. Several shows currently booked for 2023. Slide guitar a plus. High harmony background vocals also a plus. Many of my songs have dual lead guitars or lead & slide guitars.

Prefer local west Georgia players. Need great players proficient in southern rock, country & blues. Must be available on weekends for shows and/or rehearsals. Must be mature, highly committed, and serious about playing my kind of music. Energetic….good stage presence…..no attitudes/egos...no garage band level players. Must be easy going...easy to work with.

Keep in mind, I am an original artist, NOT a cover band. I may throw in a cover or two but mostly original. I play festivals, theaters, listening rooms and mid-size amphitheaters from time to time. I only do a few shows a year and not looking to gig every weekend. However, the shows I do are paying gigs. If you are looking for a cover band to play out every weekend this is not the band for you.

NO TIME FOR TIME WASTERS,,,,must be mature, serious, and motivated about playing music,
