ABOUT
I'm looking for folks to make music with. I play two to three times a week with a with a keyboardist and singer/songwriter. I'd like to add a regular workshop at my home near Okotoks. Would be good to have any sort of mucusian playing anything they can. I can play pure acoustic to heavy electric shy of metal.
I'm an amateur musician with a strong, agile baritone voice and sturdy acoustic and electric guitar skills. I can front around 200 cover tunes and a few credible originals. I learn new material quickly.
