ABOUT

Accomplished acoustic and electric guitarist, though can't read complicated charts without a couple days to work on it.
Did singer-songwriter 10 years ago, and acid rock 70s funk many years ago. Always playin- but not outwardly visible lately.
Interested anywhere folk/bluegrass to ska, jam, or free jazz. Electric or acoustic. Would love to resurrect lost old songs. Can do classic rock if necessary- would avoid metal and punk. 'rehearsal' as important as gigging for me- just wanna play more and enjoy creating with other folks. Unusual instrumentation and creations great as long as musicality is preserved.
I'm interested in playing once a week or so- homes and occ small venue to start. Would eventually play larger gigs- but want to be in the sound first.
