ABOUT

New to Colorado and looking for good musicians who are even better people. I have been playing for over 25 years and I consider myself a very solid player with good time and one who can learn songs fairly quickly. I'm not very flashy and I don't do solos, but I'm your guy if you need someone to lock things down in the rhythm section. I've been in cover bands in St. Louis, MO and I recently played with the High Point Players in the U.K. Really fun bands and great musicians. Ultimately, I like to play well, but I have to have fun doing it. I have a day job, so I don't like pretentious personalities who make my free/fun time suck.
