I'm a guitarist, looking for singer/songwriters to collaborate and write music with, as well as musicians to play with.

I'm into the songwriting, good feeling, and emotion depth of old school soul/motown/r&b, love the earthiness of early blues and punk-folk; I enjoy the the expansiveness of jazz harmony, I dig the intensity of classic rock, and I love the improvisational spirit of good jam bands.

I've done select shows/gigs with bands and singers to fill in, and would enjoy doing more of that, but I don't have a regular group of musicians to play with. though I don't sing, I write music. So even more so, I would love to find a singer to collaborate with, to start.

On a personal level, I'm a Christian, though I'm not that into the Christian music scene. So on the one hand, I'll play music with just about anyone for the pure love of music. On the other hand, it would be great to meet like-minded musicians for collaborating, and song writing for a deeper connnection.
