Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm looking to join any band that wants / needs some mandolin background and leads. Harmonica when it makes sense.
I've played in Bluegrass bands, Celtic style bands, Country and Classic rock bands and the mandolin is so versatile, there's always something it can add to good songs in these genres.
