I have been told I have pretty decent range. I have quite a bit of voice control and can sing like gravel, whiskey, a lonely dog or a banshee. I have no interest in screaming or metal. A good guitarist would make good company, preference to someone non discriminate to genre ideas like the idea that only certain skin colours and races can sing certain genres. If you want to limit creativity we can discuss but it might not be a fit.
When it comes to experience, I don’t have a ton with other musicians, I sang in a band in high school but that was over 20 years ago. Did little bits of jamming a few times but schedules and direction misalignment kept anything from really happening. If we’re going to jam we should plan to play for people at some point in time.
I’m 40, people don’t know how to take me at times and thats fine by me. I just want to play some music before I start telling myself lies like age matters. I don’t have any original lyrics at the moment but I revel the thought of creating songs again.
Travelling a great distance from fort saskatchewan is not likely to be a long lived endeavour but I would meet to see if we have chemistry and if its a long commute that seems worthwhile I would figure it out.
I have played around on a ukulele and I can say with confidence that I have yet to find the coordination to sing and play. Also I’m not that good on ukulele, but I’m not a guitarist at all.

Influences
I’m white and I love Delta Blues. I’m a nineties kid who idolized Chris Cornell for his talent and his demeanour. Colter Wall has style but I always try to sing him an octave lower. Dallas green is fun and hits my heart sometimes. I like to sing your man by Josh Turner. There isn’t really a genre that I will turn my nose to for listening but when it comes to singing deep, dirty, gritty, story tellin, sad, lonely and love pain speaks to my heart.
