ABOUT

I am working and staying in Toronto. Looking to join a 'ready to go' band to do covers 'with a twist' and play casual places (Blues, Jazz and relaxed venue). would like to work with vocalist most of all. I play Guitar to a decent level and I am a very solid bass player (most styles). I play keyboard / piano to an OK level and have just enough courage to summon up a backing vocal.

I am a decent songwriter and have just written and recorded an album with my band in the UK although I am looking to do something a bit more relaxed in Toronto
