ABOUT

FULLY VACCINATED & BOOSTED

Guitarist w/ backing vocal abilities looking for band to join and/or new project. Willing and happy to play covers as well as original content

----------------------------------

I am a guitar player, writer, and "ok" singer. I can and have done backing vocals for multiple bands I have been in over the years and I could get by with lead/duet vocals but it is not my strong suit - playing guitar is.

I live in Alexandria, VA and work in Reston, VA for a software company. I own reliable transportation, professional gigging gear, and I am willing to travel. I am looking to start something fun & refreshing and/or join an existing band/project. Anything rock related.

I have gigged all around DC, Baltimore, NJ, VA, etc. Pick any venue outside of large arenas and I have probably played there at least once over the years.

I am available most week nights from 6pm+ and anytime on weekends.

I have a number of songs, lyrics, riffs, etc. that need a good home in a new project.

Hope to hear from like minded individuals!
Alex
