ABOUT

Versatile player Rhythm, Lead & bass Guitar Player. Song writer looking to join up with other musicians in the Penrith to Blacktown area or there abouts. I like technical music but I like mood variation. Happy to play a variation of instruments to suit the song. Have a good chordal grasp, happy to let others do what they do best. Like melodic metal, catchy stuff even commercial sound, can play classical. Like harmonic lead breaks and riffs. Happy to play covers suited to the players in the group. Love the big sound also appreciate unplugged sound.

Played in brass band, played clarinet in military band and BMYO. I've done a lot of teaching in my time.

As a separate project I'm also a song writer looking to record a stack of Christian Contemporary, gospel style as well as Gospel jazz/rock. Original music to psalms and variations to traditional Hymns with modern feel. Some very catchy melody lines but with sophistication. The original material has met instant approval to any one that's heard it either Christian or secular. It is commercially viable. Needs the right mix of people to play, perform and record it.
