John-K + Musician in Orland Park, IL

ABOUT

Looking for Like minded musicians to collaborate with. Available for Studio/Recording Projects, or if you have material and need someone to lay down the vocals, hit me up.

Currently Guitarist with Venomous Hearts, and Lead Singer for Silent Lucidity (Queensryche Tribute).

I am a rhythm guitarist and vocalist with some lead guitar capabilities. I also play bass, and some keys. I have been playing for 30 years, and have been in professional original acts, cover bands and and currently with the longest running Queensryche Tribute. I have been a lead vocalist for many years, but am getting back to my roots, as a guitar player with backing vocals. Open to playing....Rock, Metal, Pop, & Rock/Pop Fusion. Sorry, have no interest in classic rock, jazz or Blues.

I have enough guitars to accommodate alternate tunings.
