ABOUT

I play archtop guitar in a mix of styles incorporating trad jazz/swing, blues elements and other influences. Also play folk, bluegrass on acoustic. I like to compose and work out original compositions. Would be interested in playing as back up for trad/jazz/blues singer or as part of band. Play keyboard well and can alternate. Willing to travel and dedicated to the musical lifestyle. Not interested in tribute band.
