ABOUT

Looking to join a group that is interested in being pro and is interested in writing and recording. I currently play in a local band called "Tooth N Nail". Great band but will only play every 2-3 months. I don't have to have a side job for a year or 2 so I want to take a run at going pro with the time I have. I played 5-6 nights/week over a lot of Canada a number of years ago so I understand the level of commitment and dedication required to be a professional. Fun at practice and on stage is important. Not interested in half baked attempts to deliver the soul of a song.
