A musical bio?
I dunno. I've played music since I was a kid. I play by ear from the heart. I love music. This is why we are here.
I have a bunch of terrible recordings that don't sound like anything. I feel like I am a puzzle piece - either waiting to fit into a band - or create a whole new puzzle.
My Achilles heel seems to be that I cannot "finish" a song, piece of music or recording, but I have no trouble playing, coming up with, or performing music with others.
I play at open mic nights and jam nights whenever and where ever possible, but it's time to take this to the next level and actually writing music with a collaborative, or band, or whatever really.
I also happen freelance as a photographer, so if you are in need of someone to be at a show, rehearsal, practice either as a guitarist, photographer, or enthused music fan, let me know.

Epiphone Les Paul with Gibson '57 classic neck, and Seymour Duncan P-Rail,
Martin DCX-1KE Acoustic with classic 4 pickup
Vibe 30 Watt Solid state amp (I've never heard of it before either)
Boss Micro BR four track recorder

this is a recording I made awhile back just experimenting with new sounds and layers. It's not perfect, but it was made in about 20 minutes before rushing to work.

I recorded this all on guitar on my 4-track as a demo for a band I was trying to get into in Montreal. Cool story, I know. Anyways, I've always wanted to hear where this could go with a full band and some haunting vocals. I'm currently working on many similar but different ideas that don't finish themselves without other musicians.
