ABOUT

./Utopia4All and user-519758901 on has samples of my work.
Hit me 703.520.3534 gfbj_va at ! (you have to fix the spelling) I'm starting a new (or would join a) project that would start with covers but shift toward originals (kept based on audience response). Covers are the competition - we'll do some to get into clubs, but originals are my final intent.
Been playing long enough that I have worked up a bunch of music. Some is produced and has lyrics written by a couple of good musicians; others are simple grabs of ideas on a sequencer. I've posted some on that my space.
• in the VA/DC metro area
• at least 3 other good vocalists,
• drummer like Carter Beauford,
• bass player who can slap hard funk or be sweet and smooth
• lead guitarist who triggers 911 calls to put out fires and can chop hard funky as well as screamin leads.
