ABOUT
I'm a solo musician rocking a tenor voice. I jam on acoustic and electric tenor guitars in that sweet DGBE tuning, and on an octave mandolin and a baritone guitar. My sound vibes across genres like rock, grunge, post-grunge, prog rock, and some pop.
I can headline a show or be an opener for your band. Let's chat. themehtaverse at gee male dot com
I’m also available to fill in on vocals for your band on short notice.
The songs on this site are recorded using an iPhone - nothing fancy!
My first sick track, "Never Give Up Your Truck," dropped on CBC on August 15, 2023. Then on December 23, 2023, I laid down some cool vibes with my second banger, “Black Bear,” on CFBX. “Summer’s not the same anymore” aired on CFBX on July 23, 2024.
You can catch my original tunes on SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/your-wave/tracks
