ABOUT

I am looking for musicians that are committed to the song writing process. I have a number of songs I would like to play live. I am presently playing them live in a band but want to step up my game. I am looking primarily for a good drummer who is interested in learning my music (and the music of my fellow creators) and also interested in contributing. If you have vocals that is fantastic. Also if you play other instruments and have strong DAW skills that would be a bonus. We rehearse downtown at Geary and record at my house for now. My cell is 416-720-1229 if you want to call. Here is some of my music:

Influences

Zeppelin - both acoustic and electric (with emphasis on the acoustic ends). Folky acoustic with Eastern influences. Recently I have been getting into Funk and writing a lot in that genre. I do like the music have power and strong dynamics ("light and shade" as Jimmy Page would put it).

I have zero interest in being a cover band - although I don't mind playing some cover tunes (especially if we make them our own).
