SEEKING
Band to Join, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano, Dobro.ABOUT
Songwriter and guitarist, looking for other writers and musicians taking their songs seriously. Not much interested in covers. Maybe a few. I play mainly in open tuning (think Keith Richards, Derek Trucks), and tend to put at least some funk + stank into most of what I do. I'm not a wild improviser, and long jams can be fun, but not really my thing. I'm a writer. I try to craft the best song I possibly can, and would love to hang with some like-minded people trying to do the same thing.
BTW, I look younger than my age...profile photo taken in 2019.
