ABOUT

Trying this because Craigslist sucks! Mid-thirties something guitarist, bassist, sometimes vocalist, and noise maker looking to practice, write, record, play shows, and tour on the weekends occasionally. Basic Band 101. If it gets bigger than that? I'm down. Ideally practice once a week minimum. Very committed but work-life balance is key. I want to make something with people I call likeminded musicians and friends we can be proud of. I prefer guitar but would play bass in the right project.
