Robert Duke + Musician in Mississauga, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

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. 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, Eagles, as well as 60's/70's soul/r'n'b, and funk. 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.
