ABOUT

I've been playing music since I was a teenager and have played in quite a few different bands. I've recently been playing in a funk/soul covers band, but am looking to start or join more of a Bluesy Alt Rock project - but don't want to pigeon hole. I have a lot of material I've written over the years that I'd like to develop but would also like to collaborate with other's ideas etc. Open to playing covers but want to work on / collaborate on originals too. I play guitar (lead/rhythm) and can sing backing vocals.

I'm looking for a lead vocalist to collaborate with ideally, and if they can play guitar, keys or bass that's a massive bonus. But also just looking for other like minded musos to jam with and see where it goes.

Most of my uploaded tracks were recorded on 8 track tape recorders, so are really just concept sketches. They're all one take so can be a bit out of time and the bass lines can be very sketchy!

And here's a link to a few tracks to a previous band I played and wrote songs with 'Feathered Friends'
