ABOUT

Experienced guitarist open to forming or joining a duo or joining the right band; ideally something a bit more creative than the usual run-of-the-mill covers. On the acoustic and duo side, I’m especially into creative reworks of pop songs and clever remixes of classics. I mix rhythm, lead, percussion, and bass-like tones on acoustic to keep things sounding full and engaging.

I'm also open to playing electric guitar in a band setting, and enjoy working across a range of styles. I’ve played in duos, trios, and full bands, with experience gigging, and some songwriting and recording along the way. Ideally, I’d love to team up with a strong vocalist for a duo that could occasionally add bass and drums for a band setup, but I’m equally open to playing electric in a band.

Apologies if I’ve been slow to reply — I’m ready to reconnect and open to the right musical fit, where there’s good alignment and energy.
