ABOUT

I CURRENTLY PERFORM *SOLO* SHOWS
ELECTRIC or ACOUSTIC - DOING...
- laid back/jazzy/new-age instrumentals
- or with vocals - covers or originals

I'M ALSO AVAILABLE TO *JOIN/FORM* A BAND - As a:
GUITARIST, BASSIST, SINGER -or- SOUND-MAN

AS WELL AS SEEKING A FEMALE SINGER WITH A
STRONG/HIGH VOICE, TO RECORD MY ORIGINAL
SONGS (or a male, with a higher vocal range)

I HAVE HUNDREDS OF *COMPLETED* SONGS, SO...
I'M ALSO LOOKING FOR BANDS TO RECORD/PERFORM
MY SONGS (ON A ROYALTY BASIS) & TO PRODUCE
(I WILL *NOT* SELL THE SONGS, SO DON'T ASK)

Rock, Top-40, Pop, R&B, Funk, Progressive,
Also, *some*: Country, Blues, alternative,
light Jazz (though no metal or grunge)

I'd very easily be able to join a tribute band, doing the following artists. As I know quite a lot of their songs & can get their sound & style:

LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD, HEART, U2,
JEFF BECK, ALICE COOPER, the POLICE,
FLEETWOOD MAC, BRYAN ADAMS, JOURNEY,

---

I'm a tasteful & melodic, lead/rhythm guitarist. With over 20 years stage & studio experience. Able to sound like the CD, or make my own arrangements.

Good at singing harmony & solid on mid-range lead vocals. Can learn parts quickly & get on stage with a few rehearsals. Work well under pressure & am drug free & sober.

Ready to join/form a band to do shows at least once a month, with musicians who are good enough to get on stage within a month's worth of rehearsals.

I don't expect anyone to quit their jobs & go on tour. Just that you take the time to learn your parts before a rehearsal & take pride in sounding good.

Doing a few free-be gigs to get started is OK, but the idea is to get paid for being a good band...

I'm also an experienced songwriter, lyricist, arranger, graphic artist, photographer & sound engineer.
