ABOUT

Living in Red Deer, Alberta. I mainly play Drums, followed by Bass and a bit of Guitar. Also learning simple recording/mixing with a home studio set up.
I don't read sheet music or anything... tabs yes- but mostly just play by ear/feel.

Interested in working on something bluesy/alt-rock/folky. Mostly just looking to have fun, and see if anything takes off from there. contact on Bandmix or brandenf9 Hot mail .com
