RTA + Band in Grand Rapids, MI

SEEKING

ABOUT

The dream of a collaborative band has eluded me, and I'm currently a solo artist in need of a back up band. Though I'm always open to a more collaborative effort.

Currently I'm playing drums in a cover band, working on a EP with a long distance friend, and gearing up for my next solo album, which I'm taking the time to pick the catchiest material I have.

I'd like to get together with a group of musicians that enjoys making music, finding different sounds, and can play my weird songs that are sometimes filled with chords.

My style is eclectic, but mostly falls into some nook and cranny of rock music. I throw in what element is appropriate to the song, whether it be folk, industrial, classic rock, or just plain oddball.

I am a rhythm guitar playing singer/songwriter. I can play some lead when I need to, and I enjoy playing bass from time to time. I can play very simple things on keyboard and can keep a beat on the drums, but nothing too fancy. Playing "Rhiannon" in the band I'm in now and it's stretching my drum capabilities.
