SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi,

I just moved back to the area after a 20yr adventure on the coast.
My friends showed me I could do better musically here than there.

Now I'm Trying to find some people or bands with drive needing an axeman/other vocalist that want to record and gig ( Need Chemistry of course ).

Hell if you're a good band alredy needing a sound and light guy drop me a line.

Covers and originals. I've got excellent axes, gear a laid back attitude and twisted sense of humour. I love to sip cold Coors and lay down grooves that entertain anyone listening.
I'm a reliable versatile player with decent chops and biz skills.

Cheers.
JD
