Band to Join, Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I'm a team player. Been playing since pre-teens, for 40+ years. Been playing harmonic 40+ years also. I can read music, four years of theory. I've written a few jump blues tunes. I can sing a little.
Fronted my own blues band in the 90s. Played in a very good modern Christian orchestra for over four years. Also played in various local bands. Sit in with bands needing a lead guitar player.
