I’m looking for folks to start a band or a band to join. I played in bands in high school and college but for years I was just that guy with an acoustic around the fire. Got back into playing seriously about 3 years ago. Recently left a band & eager to get playing with folks again.

Influences
Grew up on a healthy diet of classic rock from Stones and Zeppelin to Floyd, Tom Petty, and Neil Young. Being a teen in the 80s was hooked by The Police, The Replacements, Talking Heads, U2, & The Cure. 90s got me listening to Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam along with Mathew Sweet, Sugar, Beck, and others. An an “adult” I’ve added Wilco, Drive By Truckers, Gary Clark Jr, and The National into heavy rotation. So influences are varied and widespread. Good music is good music regardless of tempo or arraignment.
