ABOUT

Professional, Dependable, with open schedule and exceptional equipment. I have years of stage and studio experience in a variety of genres. I teach guitar and thus can learn material very quickly and open to rehearsal. I play both lead and rhythm guitar and can sing some lead as well as back-up vocals. I play both electric and acoustic guitar and will do an acoustic duo or trio project. I have excellent stage presence, and audiences particularly enjoy my slide guitar, in addition to playing the harmonica. I am looking for like-minded individuals who are able to conceptualize a marketable project and move quickly into a working band. Genre is open, and would prefer not to limit anything by labeling it before hearing the chemistry of the band.
