ABOUT
I'm looking for folks who want to write music, play out, and have fun. My strengths are typically in improv and co-song writing. I've found that for various reasons I write music better with others. I enjoy a variety of different kinds of music
Growing up I was a highly technical guitar player and played in everything from progressive rock bands, to punk to heavy metal as well as big band jazz and trios. Towards the end of college I was playing mostly folk/alternative with a friend in small cafe' type places around NY/NJ.

EQUIPMENT
At the moment, very bare bones... give me a good reason and I can turn that around quickly (I just honestly haven't had a good excuse to go and get a more pro rig together).
