ABOUT

Lead Guitarist with approximately 40 years experience playing the guitar. Approximately 18 years experience playing in bands both live and some studio work over that period of time. I have done original music and cover bands and right now am primarily interested in forming a classic rock tribute band primarily focused on 70's/80's hard rock, maybe some metal. I also have about 20 years working in the record business in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Currently seeking Bass player with ability to do background vocals and keyboard player with vocal ability for vinyl era rock project focusing on 70's and 80's classic rock.
