65 year old guitarist/singer, with a focus on acoustic guitar/singing, that also likes to rock it out. Technically it’s really singing and some kind of instrument accompaniment. I presently help start, lead and participate in open mic, duets, improv and group jams. I also play electric guitar, cajon, mandolin, bass, ukulele, harmonica. keyboard and spoons. I enjoy mixing it up with other musicians, either in support or lead singing and/or guitar role, but it really doesn’t matter what instrument. I have my own SAM set list. My favorite hiking instruments is a spoons and a harmonica. I could use someone that can take a song into an even better or higher vibe and learn to harmonize with me and vice versa. I can enjoy leading a conga line, dancing while I sing and play. I strive to get audience sing-along participation and could also use help. Song writing is encouraged. Goal is jam and develop a band or duet, but enjoy the ride along the way. Gigs are optional also.

Influences
Rock, country rock. The bands I play the most cover songs to are the Beatles, Eagles, Neil Young, Tom Petty and more. The standard popular group jam songs. Same token, I’m open, especially if I'm in support role to play any song and I’m always learning some new song in many different voices and instruments.

EQUIPMENT
An existing set list to lead designed to get people to sing along . . . A co-leader would expand the set list. Guitars galore, 4 basses, 2 keyboards, 2 mandos, 3 ukuleles, harmonicas, full gigging equipment, PA, board, etc. I’m trying to write songs also.
