I am interested in starting a classic rock band that has a look and a vision, almost like a tribute band. I’m thinking “cash cow”! All covers, covers only, you can’t write “new” classic rock after all. Would love to start set with late sixties pop and psychedelic stuff and move to 70’s riff rock as sets go on. I would like to be like a classic rock jukebox, doing material from many classic artists, but want to go a little deeper then the most obvious songs. Maybe do Beatles, Van Morrison, and Z.Z. Top, just not “Back in the USSR, Brown eyed girl, and La Grange. I want this to be a strong product that will work well in a club or other places. I would love to have a large set list to draw from, 60 to 120 songs doesn’t scare me. I am just putting out the feelers for this and other projects. I am open minded about this so if you have a good plan, I’m all ears!

I am a super positive, upbeat, non-smoking, “good” beer drinking, ex-pro lead guitar player with pro gear. I don’t have illusions of being a rock star but am willing to take it somewhat seriously if it’s worth it. I love to practice but only if it leads to gigs. I also know how to be “not to loud”! I have a life, but still want to play music. Mostly, I want to have fun.

Seeking like-minded, super positive, upbeat, thirty something’s to middle-aged players who have a little life left in ‘em! Professionalism is a greater priority then virtuosity to me. I think knowing lots of songs is better then having monster chops. An ability to communicate to the audience and sell a product is important. Most importantly, must be able to see the vision and catch the vibe and look!
