ABOUT

I'm a guitarist who's looking for some folks to jam with and possibly write some tunes. Maybe even play some gigs if it comes to that. I played sax from grammar through high school and then swicthed to guitar. I haven't played in a band situation in about 10 years but jammed with friends on a consistent basis when I live in CA and now I'm looking for some folks to play with back home in NJ. I also write and record at home and continue to study music. More into creating/writing than playing covers but open to that too. Into creating interesting groove oriented music. Anything from atmospheric psychadelia to straight ahead funk or rock as long as it's in the pocket. Looking for to have some fun and make music with some people I click with.
