ABOUT

36yo musician originally from Edmonton, AB. Would love to get in with some talented folks for a new or existing gigging-minded project here in Ottawa. Full band or duo/trio settings are cool with me. Original, cover, or a mix of both all good.

If you're a collaborative guitarist (or other instrumentalist) that might be interested in connecting to work on material as a duo, and getting out to play live, that would be great. I have a fair number of originals, and would be stoked to write some more with a like-minded partner, as well as work up a few covers to build a nice repertoire for shows (then maybe start adding more players as we go).

Primarily a vocalist, with experience in styles from hard rock and metal to acoustic alt-folk/alt-country, and much in between.

Lots of live experience, and good stage presence. Also a songwriter, and able to pitch in on compositions/lyrics for original projects.

Play drums and decent acoustic/rhythm guitar (style dependent), but am not hugely geared-out for those roles anymore.
