SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Harmonica.ABOUT
I'm in the process of moving to Beamsville and would like to find a good band anywhere from Hamilton to Niagara Falls. I've been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid, and I've picked up drums, keys, and harmonica/harp along the way. I played trombone in high school and recently bought one to re-learn it. I'm primarily a lead guitarist, and can also play slide (and rhythm of course), and fingerstyle, which helps me 'cause I also just bought a banjo and accordion to learn. I've got also got a Roland guitar synth (or two), which can do great organ/piano sounds in the background (under the guitar), and almost any instrument or synth sound imaginable. It can really fill up the sound. I sing too, more like George Thorogood, as opposed to Steve Perry. I'm currently very flexible, time-wise, and would be happy doing anything from jamming with some good musicians, to playing almost full-time, or almost anything in between.

Influences
Any good music from the 50's, 60's, 70's. and '80's. Not much today. I guess I lean to more harmony influenced bands, like The Beatles, Beach Boys, as well as 60's/70's soul/r'n'b, funk, and even some prog rock. I like to listen to pretty much any good music from classical, big band jazz, to (good) alternative music, but when I'm playing I try to play to/for the audience and the venue.
