SEEKING

ABOUT

Longtime Singer-Songwriter seeking bandmates with the goal of steady gigging (new to Austin area), performing mostly my songs - unless it's a co-equal songwriter collaboration. Serious musicians only - but we'll wanna have fun and be a band of brothers/sisters. My songs cover a wide range of styles, including rock, pop, funk, R&B, Motown, country, smooth jazz, Americana, Middle-Eastern-flavored rock, Spanish-flavored rock, Classically-flavored rock, prog rock, Native-American-flavored rock...the whole gamut.
