ABOUT

I'm looking to join/start a band. I'm open minded and capable of playing most musical styles, but I'm looking play in an originals band who is focused on making great music rather be a certain type of band!! In a song I don't care if a verse sounds "Country" and the chorus sounds "Jazz" and the outro sound "Metal" or Hip Pop!!! If it sounds and feels good I'm happy to play it... Music is about freedom and a good time not about self inflicted labels!

I'm primarily a lead/rythm Guitarist but I'm happy to sing and if needed. Please check out my old band The Groovocrats on: ./thegroovocrats
