SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

i've been a one man band doing charity work for quite some time. I enjoy a variety of genres. One man band lends itself to acoustic and story telling music but i also love playing good bluesy rock or country songs. I enjoy playing any well crafted song. I love vocal harmonies. I just retired from my day job and would like to get more involved with music.
