E Denton Mc + Musician in Toronto, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a lifelong Toronto resident in my early forties and I work in the museum field. I have a number of hobbies, but my passion is blues, jazz, and folk music.

I studied RCM piano as a child, then switched to lead guitar once I discovered classic rock. These days I'm most comfortable with blues soloing, however, I'm open to trying jazz and folk, etc. Recently, I've also been learning blues piano from method books.

I hope to find some like-minded people to jam with and/or compose original music. Really, my goal is just to get out of the house, so I'm not looking to do gigs unless the opportunity presents itself.
