Guitar Teacher/ manager by day at music store in Plano (Texas Music Lab) pretty flexible schedule
Ideally original material first and covers to fill set list but not opposed to pure covers if it’s the right ones.
Prefer jam style bands (umphreys McGee, goose, moe, phish, ) bc of the wide open opportunity to include range of styles rather then being pigeonholed
Also enjoy backing up vocalists, general collabs, just a dude who wants to play , egos are for children, and god save the queen
