SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist - Tenor, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Upright bass.ABOUT
I play a very old style of picking that I have adapted to both 4- and 5-string banjos and to a tenor guitar. My style was refined through many years of jamming in about 6 jamming groups around Cambridge, ON and fits a wide range of genres. I sing as a baritone and have performed both solo and in a duet, in both lead and harmony. I have written 18 original songs and put several on YouTube and CBC Music and have performed 10 of them in live shows. I am preparing to record these songs as a CD this summer.
