ABOUT

I play guitar and bass in a wide range of styles, acoustic or electric. I enjoy playing both rhythm and lead on guitar. I’m currently studying jazz guitar, specifically. Most of my experience has been in rock bands of all kinds: indie, southern, fusion, classic, etc. I’m interested in branching out. If asked how I feel about being committed to one band, I would say I’m PolyJamourus. I have very basic keyboard skills. I can sing harmony. I like flowers.

My primary focus is having fun and playing lots of shows with lots of people who are cool about being inclusive and positive. Hard pass on bigots or vaccine skeptics.
