ABOUT

Looking to contribute to a creative group with some fun, confident dudes, that enjoy the process of putting a unique and memorable show together, and rehearsing that show to pique performance. I've played guitar and studied music for 30yrs. I'm musically literate! Some formal studies, allot of different sources from the books at your local library, allot of You tube (Creative Guitar Studio) to learning songs and then researching why and how they worked. I've also had the great advantage and benefit of playing with some seasoned players in a variety of scenarios over the years. I'm always looking to learn something new and would love to get exposure to studio work beyond the self recorded, preliminary compositions you hear here. I have primarily sang backup, but have fronted a couple bands also, and do enjoy that.
Additionally, I've picked up the piano over the past 6 yrs and cover some accompaniment and leads. comfortable with my Major and Minor Shapes and Pentetonic scales. I am currently playing in a regularly performing, classic rock band out of Ogden. Always looking for people to play with and bounce creative idea's off of.
