ABOUT

am a guitarist and vocalist. was in a classic rock band that hosted open mics and played at festivals from 2016 to 2020 and looking to resume jamming and maybe forming a new band. I practice about 1.5 hours daily right now. am committed to playing well, though wanting to keep it fun.

we had played about 200 classic rock songs during my time with the band. (I was the lead guitarist). Many of the songs we did were probably approaching a pro level...

have some samples of my playing posted here....

Lived a majority of my life in cities, however, now am used to living in a slightly remote community (Trochu) and over the years have become accustomed to driving regularly to places like Calgary, Red Deer and various towns. So am okay with the distance....maybe once a week playing music away from home should be fine.

the posted sketches were done by a female artist friend of mine.

thanks,
Will

Influences

classic rock, contemporary folk, folk rock, some blues, some heavy rock, some light rock -lots of different kinds of music. As I child I listened to Beatle records over and over..... Listened to all the hit pop songs on the radio in the late 1960s, and 1970s....mainstream radio stations....and the rock radio stations.....and I like a lot of the music from other eras including the 40s, 50s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s and even more current. Additionally, in recent years I have been starting to appreciate various country music artists to a greater extent.
