I'm in my 51st year of playing gigs. I do a solo show with guitar, harp and vocals. This is 3+ hours, local bars, wine and foliage trains, parties. I play electric lead and slide guitar, blues harp, lead and backing vocals. I want to play one or rarely two gigs a week and stay in the blues/classic rock/ old R&B genres. Music from the nineties to today is also game as long as it's healing music. I play a lot of lead guitar and harp, and both at once. I love good songs and get my inspiration from great bandmates. I play rhythm guitar because that's how a song is played.
