SEEKING

ABOUT

Intermediate guitar player, retired and now devoting myself to learning to make music. I play electric and acoustic guitars, and sing. Over the past year, got together with a drummer, bass player, and female vocalist, and now looking for a keyboard player. We're not pro level, but committed, practicing 2x a week for 3 hours at a time. I've set up a good practice space in my home in Vancouver.

Goal is to start playing gigs next year. but for now, to have fun, polish tunes, and get better together.

Note that having supportive and respectful interactions in the band is important - you won't work out if you have serious personality issues.

The music I've uploaded under "Music" below is me playing lead across backing tracks, or playing solo acoustic guitar. I'll put a few band things up and mark them as such.
