ABOUT
I've been playing and teaching music professionally and casually for over 25 years in a range of bands (everything from pop to blues and rock to soul and ska), orchestras and choirs.
I've been playing in Sydney cover duos, trios and bands for years, doing clubs, pubs, weddings parties and other events on a regular basis, and am keen to start investing more time in arranging and recording with like-minded musicians - especially singer-songwriters of any genre who can bring some guitar skills into the mix.
In the process of building out a stronger network of performance-ready musicians (regardless of experience or age) for a collaborative project. Here to build connections as well as potential gigs, creative collaborations and recordings.
Let me know if that might be you!
