ABOUT

I play guitar (and to a lesser extent, keyboard) by ear and I learn fast - trying to avoid being a part of anything too typical. I love harmonies. Really don't want to do acoustic covers of no diggity - otherwise, I'm open to anything a little off the wall. Probably more comfortable doing eccentric covers for the most part, rather than someone else's originals (unless they're clearly good). Not a big fan of singers who 'over-do' their vocals. Will play (almost) anything you want that's by an australian artist.
