SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Harmonica, Fiddle, Dobro, Upright bass.ABOUT
Years of vocal experience in both lead and harmonies. I am a self-taught musician and also enjoy writing. Never considered myself a pro but have enjoyed many wonderful gig opportunities, touring, and some recording throughout my life.
Presently looking to find compatible, committed, and passionate musicians that would still be excited to gig at events, festivals, private and community gatherings, but those who have graduated past the desire to circulate the bar scenes.
As of lately, my musical commitments include; facilitating acoustic local jams, hosting virtual open mic stages, and providing entertainment for seniors' residences and community events.
I love the many styles and sounds that play old-time music with a lot of feels and drive such as Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Americana, Blues, a little Jazz, Pop, Old Standards, Soft Rock, Tin Pan Ally, Southern Gospel and to all of these I like to make it my own and not become an imitator.
I am at my best in life when I'm making music and would be incredibly committed to gigging 2 to 3 times a week.
I play a little keyboard, baritone and tenor ukulele, learning mandolin and autoharp, and have a great desire to hopefully introduce lap steel to my skill set. But I really get high on harmony work!
