Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Background Singer.ABOUT
Easy to work with, committed singer/rhythm guitarist, producer, and song writer. I'm looking to "bring it back" with the influences, and more, included in this profile. I've spent many years in a band environment, as a front man as well as backup positions, and even spent 6 out of my last 7 years singing for a relatively popular local metal band. I need a change. I'm looking to bring back a style that was fun in it's onset, that moved large masses of people, and had a certain element of simplicity to it that kept it timeless. This is the music that formed my entire life - the friends I've made, the shows I've seen, and the clubs I used to go to - the one thing that has always moved me.
My main goal is fun with a tad of challenge to it. I'm not looking for gigging 6 times a month, just maybe pull 1 a month and special events. Even be able to do the occasional tribute show.
After all the years I found myself in something that wasn't entirely "me", I'd love to try my hand at what really is "me".
