ABOUT

Reno musician who's been perfecting the rhythm guitar parts of ~8 dozen songs on the playlist at You Tube . com /playlist?list=PL5pHecu4mRMvW6Z5HaXCAU89JvyaQIKJ7 => All of these are songs I'd happily play live, and either already know or could quickly learn. I want to get crowds happy/dancing/moving, then feeling strong feels, then back to fun... then falling for our originals.

I trust a system I've found works for building successful/lasting bands:
(1) Agree on songs you love and want to learn together; =>
(2) Learn them well/put your own spin on the ones you want; =>
(3) Play those songs live to gain an audience and more gigs; =>
(4) Write great originals; =>
(5) Play those originals when people are **really** listening to you at your shows.

If you're down and like my influences below, message me.

** MY EXPERIENCE ** => I'm a vet musician looking to get back to playing live. I gigged consistently in San Francisco for a decade (in one band for 5 years, another for 3, a freelancer for 2... plus 3 years in bands in college). I practice hours most days and want to be back playing live when the weather finally gets all warm & awesome.
