SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a 38 year old wanting to get into the Melbourne music scene. I am interested in collaborating with others interested in some musical experimentation with the aim of forming a band, recording and gigging (although let's start with the forming a band bit).
I first picked up the guitar at age 15, then had a few-years hiatus. Three years ago, I picked up the guitar again and have been practicing regularly and seriously ever since. I admittedly have never played professionally, but I am seeking to change that.
