ABOUT

I play guitar, sing and write lyrics for my songs. I have consistently been involved in one musical project or another since I was a teenager. I've been in full bands that played venues regularly, as well as less conventional groups that focused on producing new material and played smaller shows every now and then.

I'm looking start a band, write our own songs and play out. I have a lot of songs written and ready to go and we could use some of them, but ideally we would write the songs together.

I like the traditional instruments of a modern band (vocals, guitars, bass, keys, percussion.) but I'm not crazy about the roles they conventionally play. I don't like the idea of a "back up singer." to me, the harmonies are as important as the main melody. I have similar feelings about the relationship between "rhythm" and "lead" guitar. I am much more interested in guitar arrangements where it is hard to say which is which. None of this is to say that I don't like solos or you need to play them if strumming chords is more your thing. I just don't want to have a band where the music is restricted by orthodoxy in the roles and arrangements.
