ABOUT

I'm a 31 year old singer and guitarist with 15+ years in the music scene all over this country. I've done a lot, I've seen a lot, so I honestly have no use for the typical divas, addictions, and other BS that comes with rock musicians. Let me lay this all out so there's no confusion.

I'm grew up in the 90's alternative and hard rock (grunge) music scene. I matured with the talents of Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, STP, and Live around me, and as such I'm looking for like-minded players. I'm looking to join/start a cover project in that vain as well as newer rock/hard rock that takes that talented feel. Examples of bands I'd love to cover: Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Live, STP, Metallica (NOT Enter Sandman), Shinedown, Filter, Stone Sour, Tool/A Perfect Circle, Linkin Park (Songs like Given Up), etc...(basically stuff that other bands won't touch vocally) I'm open minded to suggestions as well, but I'm looking to do songs that were/are actually known and popular.

All this said, I'm sure I sound like an absolute prick and diva myself. Truth is that I'm really easy to get along with, I don't take myself too seriously and I'm looking to do this for fun as well as maybe make a few bucks. Looking to play once or twice a month as schedules permit. I've got an above average singing voice and can both sing and scream (if necessary by the song, but I'm not a hardcore screamer) I've been playing guitar for 22 years now and I have a more than decent rig. I've got no aversion to an AIC style setup where I play and sing but not on every song, or staying on the mic with no guitar. I'm pretty flexible.

Like I said, I'm doing this for fun and to satisfy my need to play and entertain the masses. I'm not reaching for that brass ring or trying to"make it". I wanna enjoy this, so please don't waste my time if you can't play this style or are planning to suggest pop punk or hardcore metal.
