ABOUT
Hello everyone! I'm a seasoned studio musician and can also consider the right fit for a gigging band. I'm a competent sight and chart reader (a little rusty, but I can pick it back up quickly). I have accompanied and performed in a variety of different musical settings and venues, including semi-professionally. I have played on numbers of studio projects, co-written, toured with a college recruiting band, played in a collegiate pep band and other types of ensembles, performed in numerous weddings, and taught guitar lessons. The bulk of my performance experience comes from playing with a number of different worship bands in contemporary Christian Sunday morning church settings. I have professionally performed on piano and hand percussion and am also proficient in bass guitar and acoustic guitar as well as backup vocals. I dabble in electric, trap set, viola, and others. I have experience writing in the folk/singer-songwriter genres. I would like to either find, create, or join a group that is currently performing or plans to perform gigs. Willing to travel. A flavor of my personal compositions can be found on Spotify: s://open.spotify/artist/5ZWlWJiES2YLVp8qtGOS5g
