SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a former violinist turned guitarist looking to get out into the gigging world and have as much fun as I can while furthering my skills and playing with talented musicians. I've been playing music since the age of three and have developed a keen ear for making music. I've been gigging in Massachusetts and surrounding areas for over 5 years and have played many fantastic rooms, including the DCU Center in Worcester MA, The Bitter End and Sullivan Hall in New York NY, and many others in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. I'm dedicated, I can pick up any tune with little rehearsal, and I have a solid repertoire of cover tunes under my belt. I have a strong singing voice in addition to my skills on the guitar, both as a rhythm player and as a lead, and I have a very easy-going and friendly personality. I've been an asset to the bands I've played with in the past, and will continue to bring my talent, showmanship, and love of music and fun to every show I play.
