SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a singer-songwriter (of 33 years) and guitarist in the Chicago suburbs. I play a cross between Singer-songwriter, Rock, and a bit of Country. I do not identify with a specific style/ sound, but could be anywhere between Collective Soul, Ed Sheeran and Chris Stapleton. I have played at The Bluebird Cafe, Krapil's Steakhouse and Whiskey Acres, among others. The last album I recorded was with John Mellancamp's drummer and bassist and have a few music videos. I am looking for a serious band / drummer, bassist and guitar player (lead and rhythm), a band (a team) with a positive attitude, to join in playing my music and some covers. I am open to co-writing future music and playing professionally. I have an open mind and want to continue learning collectively with future members. I have just formed an LLC as a guitar teacher for kids and adults. I also have two children so have some limitations when it comes to weekly practice, but am flexible to make it work.
