ABOUT

Commited guitarist searching for a new project or new musicians for current project. My passion is improvisation, just making goond music off the cuff with a nice funky groove, though I am totally open to playing any type of music. I am a very careful listener and always try to respect everyone's musical space, because knowing when NOT to play is just as important as WHAT you play. I am nice and laid back, have pro gear, a good attitude, and ALWAYS show up for practice. If you want to play with a thoughtful musician who takes playing seriously and has a love for the groove, email me at rob8569.
