ABOUT
Although I play in a Band, we are not that busy, and I will gladly work with other groups to in other blues/R n B/Sixties type bands. I am a very experienced strong guitar player/singer. I have a complete music room set up in my house, with PA, Keys, Hammond Organ , Bass Gear, and nice drums, and a slew of vintage Fender Amps..
Looking to make good music with good players.. so looking to also Gig in other bands.. I am not a super "hot" lead guitar player, or Frank McKay on vocals, but I do good solid job, and have fronted my own band for years. Like a borad spectrum of music and am versatile.... here's my contact info:
Email Address: arthurebaxter or Phone 835-4733.
Please feel free to send along your name for the future or if one of your regular guys is U/A for a gig and need a sub. I can do sub work.
Also host fun weekly jams, so if you would like to meet some other good players and have some fun with no lugging gear required drop me a line. The recordings above were made in the jam room with a $200 zoom in 1 take. I did 60 over 2 evenings.
