ABOUT
I am the lead guitarist, vocalist (and songwriter) for the newly formed band COSMIC MUTT. We play a mix of originals and covers of various rock songs. We are currently preparing to start playing gigs in the Greater Boston area,
I’ve been playing guitar for about 28 years (mostly self-taught with a period of taking lessons in jazz guitar and music theory). I also sing vocals, play blues harmonica and sometimes incorporate the piano into my songs. I just love music: all kinds of music. I love creating it, playing it, recording it and performing it live. I’m not a professional musician; I do this primarily for fun. Having said that, if COSMIC MUTT really takes off and gets signed, I’m totally up for the ride!
BTW, the music tracks on my profile are not of the band. In these tracks, I am playing ALL the instruments and singing (but not singing very well since these are early recordings prior to starting vocal training). I use my computer to do the drums though.
