I have been playing rhythm and lead guitar, playing in bands and writing songs for at least 20 years. Plenty of experience playing live. Closest I've ever been to kind of getting known is opening for an indie band that opened for The Strokes the next year so ,almost but not quite. I still have fire in my belly and songs in my heart that I'm sure if put with the right musicians would go somewhere. One of my most influential artists is Ryan Adams (that's not a typo. It's Ryan Adams not Bryan Adams.) if you know who Bryan Adams is but not Ryan Adams I'm probably not for you. Also I emigrated from the USA to Australia about 10 years ago.One of my biggest pet hates is when you ask someone what music they listen to and they say " oh, ya know, I'll listen to anything." So that person would listen to a orangutan farting into a tuba? Music is my life, I would be a lost cause without it. Anyway, I look forward to jamming with any like minded souls out there. I'm not judgmental at all I don't care what colour you are, what God you pray to if any, where you're from or what your background is. Mine isn't squeaky clean and I've made mistakes in my past but I'm stable as now I don't drink or do drugs at all haven't for years. That being said I would never judge anyone else on their personal choices. As long as the music comes first.

EQUIPMENT
I have an acoustic EJ-160 Epiphone at the moment. But I'm currently looking at amps and electric guitars so if a band or person wants me to audition I would procure said electric equipment.
