Bass Guitar, Drums, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist - Bass, Vocalist.ABOUT
I have been playing for many years and just recently I started working abroad in the Middle East. I work 1 month in and 1 month out, so I try to play with a band as much as possible for that one month, and I am interested in getting something serious going. I recently lost my band as the Bass player moved East to Montreal, and my drummer of 14 years accepted a position with a touring band for a North American tour. I turned down the oppurtunity having just landed a 3 year contract abroad, and with our economic situation in the country, I felt it was not worth the risk at the moment. But with that being said, I am very interested in starting or joining a new project in Calgary. I am not interested in playing in a garage or basement for the next year. My days of doing that ended long ago. But if we take some time to get tight before we perform live and take things serious, I do not mind having some basment time. I really enjoy southern hard rock, and hardrock. I have a very big sound through my gear and drive it with alot of energy and feel. Serious inquires only please. I am not into entry level playing. I do not mind singing, but would prefer to just do back up. I have been in a 3 piece for the last few years doing all the guitars and singing. And I find it limits your ability to really play your instrument. And yes, all the equipment in the pictures belongs to me, except for the basses and bass amp. I just found it easier as all of the band members lived in different cities, if I had all the gear to practice, and they could just come down and play. I like playing the harder edge rock, and writing with people. And I will fill in with a band if need be at times. Depending. I also like fishing around open jams to see if I can get just a cool thing going for a few hours. That is always fun. In the pictures are my old band mates, I appologize, as I do not have any updated photos. Those are a few months old. The girl is my cousin Lee, not my wife.
