SEEKING

ABOUT

In short, I have 40+ years of experience "beating away at metal wires on wooden boxes." I'm acoustic and electric guitarist in Raleigh who plays rock, blues, folk, jazz, swing, alt country and pretty much whatever comes around on the guitar. I'm primarily a rhythm player who can jump in on the lead front when needed. I've played professionally in the region for the better part of 20 years in a range of projects and have recorded two CDs (one of which is played on SiriusXM at the holidays). I'm in between projects now and would love to become a valued member of a committed (semi) professional-level band that likes to play originals and inventive covers of great music from any decade.
