ABOUT

Looking to start a band or join a band as a guitarist/vocalist & collaborating song writer. I was a bassist in a metal band in the 90's, joined the military and maintained music as a hobby over my career, and have moved to MD in last few years enjoying music full-time. Want to start by covering a handful of classics, get tight as a band, and have fun making them our own. I enjoy the creative side of music, and lately have been writing a kind of heavy alternative rock / alt metal or bluesy hard rock. A few demos are posted to the music portion of my page where I wrote and tracked everything, but writing input from others is welcome and preferred with original stuff. I approach music with a laid back attitude; genre/image agnostic, or "grunge" I guess. Profile photos has a pic of the latest songs I play to warm up singing and playing guitar- perhaps some of them would work to start a setlist. (They're simple, but fun and easy to go through without eating up too much creative bandwidth)
