I am a singer songwriter from Pittsbrgh, PA looking to join a band or project.
I have experience playing live in jazz ensembles (gigged at Cleveland Rock n Roll Hall of Fame) and original rock bands throughout Pittsburgh.
I have a solid understanding of music theory, sheet music, and key signatures. I also have a trained ear.
I mostly play funk rock, blues, and jam. I typically play lead guitar and lead vocals but I'm willing to compromise. My main focus is songwriting, improvisation and jam bands.

Keep it Real
Keep it Real Year: 2012 Album: Demo Genre: Alternative
Original song written and recorded entirely by me. This one is pretty indie although most of my songs are a bit more bluesier and layed back. This was recorded before my voice was fully developed I am a much better singer today than I was over a year ago.
