I’ve been writing and playing music since I can remember, it’s always been a major part of my life but it’s fluctuated between a public profession and private affair over the years. I’d love to find some people willing to play my stuff but I’m also more than happy to play covers or other peoples material or just jam and have a good time. I don’t have much recorded but I plan on doing something about that and I could use some help. I’m (in my humble opinion) a good musician and am confident in my technical abilities in rocknroll, blues, punk, metal, country/folk hiphop and jazz. I’m not a show off and my favorite thing is making things sound and feel right, to capture/explore an idea and find out what it reveals and if it’s worth pursuing, make a dang song out of it. There’s so much bullsh*t and ego and miscommunication in this world and (some) music and art is the only stuff that makes any sense to me even though it can be totally abstract. I haven’t had a lot of luck meeting musicians who can play honestly and respectfully and I’m really hoping I can eventually get a group together that can take themselves seriously (but not too seriously) and can work well together to make something worthwhile and meaningful and most of all fu*king FUN!
