SEEKING

ABOUT

34 years old. been playin since high school ag talent band. i have fronted my own bands, cover and some originals. but i really like to be in the background. ive been told my harmonies are as tight as any. i am playing with a couple of bands now and looking to fill in my open dates. can play acoustic, electric rythm, bass (no gear, and need to brush up but can do it) and drums. played guitars for 10 yrs and drums the last 5. can do harmony/backup vocals with any intrument. i am confident but not cocky. i am quiet at first and have a kind of dry sense of humor but it seems to work for me. i have also recorded 4 studio albums, 3 of which charted top 25 on tx music chart. any questions feel free to ask. ps. i dont want to sound like a dick, but if u are starting your first band or haven't played many gigs yet, i am probably not for your band. i am not the best at what i do, but i am a professional and like to jam with experienced musicians. but if you younger guys have questions, i dont mind helping you out that way. take care
