ABOUT

Hello,

I'm an older dude (40 yrs old) looking to meet like-minded musicians in the Halifax area and see where it can take us.

I just moved to NS from Toronto, where I played in several bands over the years and have also been a singer-songwriter for the past 10 years. I love making and playing music.

I also have a Kids Music Youtube channel called 'Bubsville'.

I'm looking to co-write with other musicians, jam weekly and continue creating music at various capacities. I value professionalism, reliability and hard work ethic.

Thanks, cheers!
