ABOUT

I am looking for a songwriting partner to form a duo or trio group. Write some songs, play some covers (make them our own), and eventually play some open mics and shows for fun. I've done a bunch of open mics and work for a manufacturer in the industry but I'm not a professional musician. Been taking guitar lessons for a couple years now, but for the first 20 years, I just learned on my own.

Google Treadingthomas (all one word). You'll find a bunch of stuff. That's me. Time to make some new stuff though.
