Gotta wear shades_

SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank, half pack of cigarettes, it’s dark out, and we’re wearing sunglasses hit it...

Sydney based lead guitarist looking for an established rock/pop/blues covers band to rock out with, play gigs and generally have some fun.

Professional can do attitude, gear/transport and looking for likeminded individuals. Based on the upper North shore and hopeful to have rehearsals north side but will travel for the right gig.

Attitude and chemistry are important to me as we are there to bring good vibes and keep the punters (and venue bar sales/venue publicans by default) happy.

Influences include Rock//Hard rock/blues/prog rock and Pop but generally happy to play whatever provided the band can pull it off and the punters are into it.

You're only as good as your last gig and a crowd knows when a band isn't into it..

Won't do disco, so don't even try.

I played in and managed a professional hard rock tribute show in Sydney for 10 years or so and do have contacts on the booking agent side.

Happy to do backing vox and looking to gig most weekends on the Sydney/Wollongong/Newcastle circuit.

YouTube link available on request - nothing great but will give you an idea on my playing style.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.
