ABOUT

Wordy front-man type singer/songwriter/fiddler seeks guitarist with mystique for alt-country / neo-
bluegrass harmonies...

After a hiatus from projects for a few years, I'm keen to get jamming again, & gigging. I'm happiest blurring lines between blues, bluegrass, and celtic folk, and sing tenor parts in harmony.

I'm a self-taught, average-skill rythm guitarist with killer rhythm - but I MUCH prefer to collaborate with a true guitarist's guitarist, so I can focus on melody parts (fiddle, harmonica, mando) Best talent is tenor-range lead voice with good vibrato, blues grunts... native Anglo but also love singing a bit in French, Spanish. Strong rudiments from childhood classical violin (RCM-10)
