SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Acoustic Guitar, Dobro.

ABOUT

Playing both finger style and flat pick guitar, including rhythm and lead along with slide dobro, I’m looking for other acoustic musicians to play folk, Americana, and roots music, including blues and country ( and more : Tex-Mex, Celtic, Classic Rock like Honky Tonk Woman and Bad Moon Rising, Baby’s In Black, etc.). Ideally would like to work as a duo or trio and play out. In addition to playing guitar and dobro, I enjoy singing, both lead and backup vocals. Seeking like minded musicians who like to do covers their own way and some originals. Practice as a group once a week for fun and polish and hopefully play out once every week or two!
