SEEKING
Band to Join, Other.ABOUT
I've been playing one instrument or another on stages and in studios for over 20 years.
Looking to play anything dynamic and tasteful. I enjoy the occasional odd time signature and unexpected key change. I'm not the most technical player, but I like to push myself outside of my bounds as a musician. I always keep the audience in mind and play to the song, not my own ego.

Influences
I'm influenced by anything that took an effort to create. I like a nice deep pocket and a heft of stank in the groove. I can appreciate just about anything in the neighborhood of rock. Love the acrobatics of progressive, jazz fusion stuff, and bluegrass as well.

EQUIPMENT
I've got a couple vintage and vintage styled kits, and a variety of snares to fit the situation. An assortment of guitars, basses, and mandolins. More effects pedals than I can count, and an amp to serve just about any situation. I have a modest home recording setup for tossing ideas around or tracking parts to an album, but not large enough to track drums or host rehearsals.
