SEEKING

ABOUT

I've been active musically since I was a child. I cut my teeth at age 8 learning classical guitar. I grew up on rock as a teenager and discovered blues in my 20's. Numerous recordings, cover/tribute bands, overseas tour, show bands, original bands. I have about 40 years performing exp. I have played many styles over the years, with some of my favs being Blues, prog rock and southern rock. Soca rhythms are cool!
I have begun to form, a Chicago style blues band. I am also open to forming or joining a tribute band. Groove is of the upmost importance! Yes, this is coming from a guitar player.
