Soul Pilot + Musician in Youngstown, OH

SEEKING

ABOUT

Experienced musician on guitar as well as bass, with the ability to cop a variety of styles. I also play some keyboards. I have been playing these instruments for over 30 years and am quite competent. I can sing harmony and lead vocals. My influences and playing style tend to gravitate among Classic Rock, Power Pop, Classic Soul/R&B, Indie, Atmospheric music. I like to explore many styles and to expand my musical palette. I've been in several live and studio playing situations and had some formal music training.

I have the talent and the drive to do something musically-interesting within the right situation. I'd like to find some similar musicians who I can click with -- playing tight, excellent material. I do appreciate the past but I also look to be inspired by something fresh. I would be interested in writing/performing solid original material with others and possibly doing some good re-makes of known material. Am not into egos, drama, or substance abuse. Lastly, although I am a Christian I'm not necessarily desiring a Christian music project at this point (but I might consider it).

NOTE: the music samples below do not fully represent my abilities or preferences. These are bits of things I've done over the years for personal fun or for other people.
