Band to Join.

ABOUT

Classically trained violinist with exceptional reading skills and a great ear, looking to broaden my horizons and play any sort of modern music with a band. Open to practising once/week and gigs however often they happen, no requirements except for focused fun. (Prefer within GTA, I live and work in the Beaches/Leslieville area.)
