SEEKING

ABOUT

Started out playing guitar in a punk band in the 80s. Moved to playing rock/glam covers and then on to an all-original band in the early 90s. Have experience playing live, and in studio. Also worked for 10+ years as live sound engineer.

It's been a while, and I'd like to get back into it. I'm very comfortable playing guitar and singing either lead or b/u vocals/harmonies, but can also get by playing bass and drums. I'm thinking something fun, top-10 type covers, or maybe a pop-punk cover band something like "Green Plan 41" might be fun, but certainly not limited to that -- happy to explore all options - just not sure an all original project is the right fit for me right now.

Below is a link to a video from my last all-original band performing back in 1990-something at Georgie's:
