SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano.

ABOUT

Im a lead guitarist seeking an already established band to join or other musicians and vocalists to put together a professional band in the LA area. I've been playing guitar for 20+ years and am heavily experienced in rock, hard rock, experimental and r&b. I play with a lot of soul and have a strong sense of melody and a very strong ear. I have a lot of talent, passion, and drive and am looking for a team that has the same creative vision I do and chemistry.

I can play straight forward lead guitar super well all the way up to folk fingerstyle picking but I also love pushing the boundaries and coloring the sound with not only the raw instrument, but electronics as well and really making the guitar sing in a way that's accessible to the modern age .

Looking forward to working with like-minded creatives !
