Shawn Ridley + Musician in Auburn, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a lead and rhythm guitarist with 40 years of playing experience and a lot of gigs under my belt. I moved to Auburn about 4 years ago. I enjoy playing both rhythm and lead -- I have good meter and I try to play with touch, tone and taste. I enjoy being part of a band that plays for the song, not for individual attention.

I would like to meet gigging musicians in the area who might need a hand in the guitar department.
