Band to Join.ABOUT
Experienced musician on guitar as well as bass, with the ability to play in a variety of styles. I also play some keyboards. I can sing harmony and some lead vocals. My influences and playing style tend to gravitate among Power Pop, Indie, Americana, and Atmospheric music. No interest in playing (straight) Country, Rap or Metal. I've been in several live and studio situations and had some formal music training.
I have the talent and the drive to do something musically-interesting within the right context. 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 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 (though I might consider it).
NOTE: the music samples below do not fully represent my abilities or preferences. These are things I've done over the years for personal use or for other people.
