I've been playing guitar and bass for over 20 years. I have played in several bands over the years, recorded a half dozen studio albums and have several years stage experience, locally and regionally. I'm looking to join or start a solid band, as a guitarist or bassist, that would play and write mostly original music and perform whenever possible.
I am a graphic designer and website developer and have used those skills over the years to help build my bands' brand awareness quite effectively. I also have experience as an audio engineer and a project studio at home where I record my own music, so I'm comfortable behind a console recording and mixing music.
