SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Piano.ABOUT
I'm an early-40's guitar player in the blues/rock tradition. I play lead, rhythm, and slide. I've been playing for over 25 years in a variety of bands. Currently, I'm one of the two lead/rhythm guitar players for 7 Souls, based in Dundalk.
I'm especially interested in anything blues-related, alternative country/Americana rock, Southern rock, and almost all types of classic rock (not so much '80's hair-metal or heavy metal).

Influences
I've got a growing range of interests and influences. My most core influences include Guns n Roses, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, SRV, Clapton, and Hendrix. Being a product of the '90s, of course there's some grunge and alternative influence.
Lately I'm listening to a lot of Elmore James, BB King, and Freddie King for blues. I'm also into Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, Allman Bros., Lynrd Skynrd, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and the like for roots-rock and alt-country/southern rock stuff.
