ABOUT

Currently fronting the blues project, The BluzAholics, a 6 pc contemporary/progressive Blues band out of Fredricksburg/Stafford area, Va area, and occasionally, play with by good friends, Paul Sigmon of Bowling Green, VA., Bob Hubbard, of Woodford, VA, and Neil Tibert, in Spotsy, Va. Both the band, and the individuals, have pages....look them up. Able to devote a lot of time and energy and don't mind traveling, if the gig is right. I will play for fun, or money...just want to be involved with people who are as serious about what they are putting out there, as I am. I have a complete 400+ sq. ft. rehearsal studio, completely set up with PA, mics, lights, drumset, congas, Hammond organ, etc, and host monthly Blues Jams....Blues musicians are invited to come out an d play. Check here for the upcoming 2010 schedule, beginning in Feb 2010. You can reach me by mailing sonnybell at dot net.
Always on the lookout for Blues Guitarists - especially, if you play slide / dobro-resonator.

I'm also on the lookout for musicians that would like to form a "James Gang" tribute band. Would love to talk to anyone interested in that type of project. We could double with other tribute bands to do a "Tribute Festival".

So, let's get together and make some music!
