SEEKING
Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Trumpet.ABOUT
Haven't played in a band for a couple of years. I've been involved in 2 serious bands over the last 10 years. I want something serious and meaningful. I have a decent amount of songs under my belt, and I would like to either play them or write new ones. I am NOT a bar band, cover song, Lyn Skyn, sort of musician. I appreciate original and forward thinking when it comes to music. Music is my true passion. I'm not willing to lower my standards when it comes to practicing/recording/playing live. I take music seriously. My influences will tell you what kind of person I am.

EQUIPMENT
I've multiple Acoustic Guitars. I take pride in my Gibson/Epiphone electric. I have a bass amp that I salvaged from the dumpster that some dickhead wanted to throw away (it's a simple wiring adjustment). I fuck around on an early 90's keyboard and I have, and can play the trumpet (for whatever that may be worth). I like to think I'm a semi-well-rounded musician. I read sheet music and have written it when called for.
