Played lead/rhythm guitar for 25+ yrs (been a guitar teacher for 4 years). Been into singing for 10+yrs and really into vocal harmonizing. Into playing a wide eclectic range of styles and instruments and appropriate style songwriting/arranging. Looking for a drummer, bassist, and keyboardist/sampler who also sing, to make ORIGINAL dynamic, creative, melodic, and unpredictable ear candy jems that defies musical boundaries and categories. Into possibly doing recording/several gigs here n there project. Currently have original songs (over a dozen) and recording gear. Looking for other players who have ideas/songs to mesh an extrememly WIDE variety of music. Love music that is soulful, technical, simple n sparse, intense, outside, experimental, improvisational, and most importantly with beautiful melodies and phrasing. Absolutely unafraid to take chances in a jazz like mentality where nothing is set. Currently recording in my home studio on a DAW.

Please check out an excerpt clip of me improvising LIVE over John Coltrane's "Mr. PC" in a jazz rock style in the audio section. Mahalo!
