SEEKING
Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Other.ABOUT
I have been playing bass and guitar off and on for 25 years, but have gotten back to it much more seriously lately. Years ago, I was in two different metal/hard rock bands, doing mostly covers(Black sabbath, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd,early Metallica, etc..). I was the rhythm guitarist in the first band and the bass player in the second band. I am looking for people to play with and possibly start or join a band. I was primarily a guitarist the last few years, but have switched mostly to bass, which is now my primary instrument, and my main interest, although I do still play some guitar as well. I have also recently began learning keyboard.
My main musical interests currently are blues, blues rock, classic country and progressive rock, although I still play metal on occasion. For personal reasons, I am trying to stay fairly close to the Stratford area.
