ABOUT

I'm an guitarist in my 30s looking for musicians of all sorts to create original instrumental music. I have a large repertoire of original song-ideas, ranging in genre from blues to bluegrass to rock to jazz. But I want to create new sounds that blend or break all of these genres. I approach music through a workshop mentality. I'll bring my songs, we can build new parts, and set up interesting spaces for improvisation. And, of course, I'd love to workshop and contribute to your music as well!

Update: Looking for Bass and Keys in particular!
