I enjoy playing live and am doing so in a Local punk band (Giggle Switch). I am not really genre specific as to what type of music I play although I tend toward harder sounding music (punk, rock, metal). I would really like to hook up with a country group. My preference for country music is the old outlaw stuff I am not a fan of "Bro' Country" or "Taylor Swift" types although there are some exceptions. I am willing to be just a back up musician for a lead singer, but I do write and sing, as well.
I approach music with a serious attitude, but I like to have fun as well. I do not party excessively, especially on gig nights until after the set is done and everyone's gear is taken care of.
