Bass Guitar, Drums.

ABOUT

My name is Joel. I am currently the lead guitarist and songwriter for the local Vegas rock group Viridian. I also work with a singer/songwriter from Atlanta named Kevin Mallos. I consider myself to be a mature musician especially for my age, but I am always trying to improve. As a lead guitarist I tend to focus on melody and playing to serve the song rather than my ego. I am looking for nice enthusiastic musicians to work with and I currently seeking a drummer to work with me in one or both of my projects.
