ABOUT

Experienced bass-baritone country vocalist, endorsed as a singer by people with long music & industry experience; guitarist with very strong rhythm, parts, and fingerstyle chops, working on my lead playing; and a songwriter with a thing for words. And I play accordion. If you don't have a premium account (I do) and you want to contact me, email me at [email protected].

Message me if you want to try me as a studio musician, arranger, songwriter, or backing vocalist. If you're interested in being in a group with me, keep reading.

I've played backing guitar for friends for several years, but now I want to put together a roots-rock, "Americana" band to start out gigging and develop over time into its own "thing." Listen to my sample tracks to get a rough idea of my ideal sound. I know my limitations and I want to grow beyond them; I'm looking for people who want to stretch themselves, contribute to the writing/arrangement/song choice, communicate well and take suggestions, and listen as they play. Looking for:

- Lead and textural musician(s). Keys, strings, or steel guitar would be great
- A bassist with chops to flex, who can play some walking lines and chord outlines and other fancy stuff, and won't just hang onto the root notes. 5-string and fretless bass skills preferred
- A drummer who holds down the pulse. Ideally plays a little behind the beat and can work in roots-rock percussion (cowbell, tambourine, shaker, etc). Might have this position filled soon
- Songwriters preferred. I'd be glad to try playing your material or writing together
- Backing-vocal skills greatly preferred. Other members are welcome to sing lead on some songs
- Any ability to play folk, percussion, electronic, noise, and "high-school band" instruments is also preferred
