SEEKING
Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Other, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Interested in a side project co-writing original music. Hoping to collaborate with other musicians or lyricists to write new material, update existing originals, or create unique versions of cover tunes. I have a growing catalog of completed songs and several others in progress -- links to some examples are available on this page.
During normal times I play keys in a busy rock/pop cover band, though we are currently taking a break until the virus calms down. I would also consider playing in a second band after covid -- in the right situation... cover or original.
Open to a wide variety of musical styles including rock, pop, funk, alternative, electronic, americana, blues, jazz, reggae, folk, etc.
Have decent keyboard skills and vocals. Enjoy singing harmonies and the occasional lead vocal.
