ABOUT

Looking for bandies in/near Eagle Mountain. During my youth sang with church & school choirs, played some rhythm guitar & occasionally did inspirational solo vocal numbers, sometimes playing rhythm guitar and singing.
I've got a great ear! I can sing and harmonize pretty easily. I play rhythm guitar (mainly acoustic style) well enough. I have basic DAW (digital audio workstation) recording - track experience. I have some experience in live performance audio. I have done a little acapella / vocal percussion. Over last couple years I've written 12-15 original songs (acoustic guitar / vocal) which I've shared at a couple venues & church activities. They are mostly pop - acoustic style, with a folk-contemporary flair.
Have not with a group consistently. However, each Sunday I host a small youth group where my two teens (pianist & background vocals) meet with 6-8 youth and redo hymns, inspirational pop, youth & kids songs, with guitar, .
vocal harmony, basic piano and percussion. I'm looking to combine my talents with other vocalists, guitarist, bass players, percussionist, keyboard, fiddle, etc. that have similar inspirational music interests.I want to add more to the music I've written as well. I love music & Lyric that inspires the listener to reflect, process life's experiences, and connect with things that matter most! I write music that inspires faith, recounts mine & others humanity, as well as the bitter and sweet realities of life.
