ABOUT

Longtime original singer-songwriter with my own home studio and lots of performance experience in classic rock, alt rock and even synth pop genres. I'm still focused on writing, recording and performing my own solo original material, but am finding that I rarely gig anymore because finding live outlets for original material is getting harder and harder. And I miss just playing music with others. So... I'm interested in getting together and playing some cover tunes for occasional gigs around Edmonton, for fun and to get back to playing more on stage. A '90s Canadian rock tribute perhaps? (Hip, 5440, Northern Pikes etc)
