SEEKING

ABOUT

Very experienced blues guitarist looking for a band. I would prefer a gigging band or one about to gig, but I will consider a start-up. I have pro gear, an excellent attitude, good ears, I pickup new songs quickly, and I am very committed to playing. I have no alcohol or substance abuse issues, and no ego problems or drama in my life. I keep solid time and pride myself on playing with taste and economy, having great tone and being stylistically true to the music. I play with authority and passion, and I truly enjoy the interplay of working with other musicians. I've been in several bands with a 2nd guitarist and have no problems sharing solos.
