SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
Songwriter, producer, composer, musician... been doing mostly writing producing and recording the last 10 years. Now want to co-write, rehearse, and perform with a band. I'm open/interested in positive uplifting modern spiritual rock, progressive rock, and rock/jazz fusion too. So I'm open to options. Spiritual Rock does not have to be only Christian style lyrics, but anything that promotes peace and the greater good of humanity is OK with me.
I enjoy many styles, but in the end I'm a rock/jazz fusion and modern pop/rock guy at the core. I don't consider myself a jazz player even though I have a short jazzy sounding fusion set I do.
I work full time and travel for work. So I need flexible band-mates that understand. I'm happy to shoot for weekend performances if we evolve to playing live. I'm happily married and am considered by most very easy to get along with. havonarecording at dot com

Plenty of guitars, acoustic and electric, a 5 string bass, Bose PA, Mackie Mixers, Roland V-Synth GT, TC Electronics G System, Mesa Guitar amps, misc. pedals, a few microphones, UA LA-610 recording preamp, and plenty of powerful software on my DAW to produce the songs you hear on my profile page. I'm always trying new gear and selling what I don't use, so I'll not take the time to list everything here.

I Am Spirit
I Am Spirit Track number: 1 Year: 2010 Genre: Christian Contemporary
The Genre is not exactly accurate, but this is definitely a modern rock piece with a spiritual message.

Let Them Feel (the warmth of love in You) Track number: 2 Year: 2010 Genre: Christian Contemporary
This is more on the pop side with the same vocalist as the previous track. Definitely a story of healing and love in relationships.

Fleeing Galilee
Fleeing Galilee Track number: 4 Year: 2010 Genre: Other
I'll call this instrumental "progressive orchestral rock". It has four movements - each builds on the previous. Don't expect a verse/chorus format here ;-)
