SEEKING

ABOUT

Currently looking to join a country/southern/classic rock band that is either already gigging; OR is putting together a project with the goal of gigging. I am a lead/rhythm guitar player primarily, but willing to play bass if situation is right.

I am a solid journeyman guitar/bass player. Covered all of the mainstream classic 60s/70s/80s rock guitar hero's and still do. In last 6 years I have built skill muscle around the modern country rock genre (Stapleton, Luke Combs, Whiskey Meyers, Blackberry Smoke).

Most recently played 7 years in a rock/funk/punk/pop cover band that was gigging regularly.

Can sing backup vocals, but only medium skill there.

I love to play for the crowd. My goal is always to send them home drained and entertained!

Not into metal/thrash/punk/techno. Not interested in 'play it exactly like the record'. I don't consider myself a 'songwriter', but I'm confident I can add value for people who need musicians to flesh out their compositions. Not into drinking, drugs, drama, or politics.

email: artjonsonim at hotmail.com or contact me via Bandmix. Please leave a phone number or email address so I can respond via something other than Bandmix if necessary.

(***Please note: I have been seeing situations where Bandmix message responses are getting dumped into people's JUNK/SPAM folders. I don't know why this is happening. Thus, it may seem like people are not responding to your Bandmix messages, when, in fact, they are, and the response may be routing to your junk mail folder. I know with gmail you can simply drag the mail from your spam folder to your primary, and it may solve the problem. Thus, please include a callback/text number, or an email address in your initial contact. It will help immensely.)

Thanks.
