Singer-songwriter, keys player solo act but also loves band experience. I use an Alesis with a wurlitzer/rhodes kind of vibe.. Cross-over is easy from pop to (unofficial) jazz, simple blues... I like a lot of space created and love tight harmonies placed here and there.. I've played with some super talented guitarists who made use of solo space. I especially love 'beautiful' harmonics between keys and electric guitar. I'm a rhythmic player so love counter-rhythms within song structure or open jam.. My baselines can be busy so I can work on that when needed-- to back off and allow a bassist to cover.. I can feel some hiphop as well, so there has been space for spoken lyrics also. I'm a true creative, open to cool expression and love to share the grooves and learn new ones.. ( ;
