Thanks for checking out my profile. I’m looking for people to jam and play good music with, and entertain people live. I enjoy rock, pop, blues, soul, jazz, and improvisation. I’ve been in big bands playing guitar parts in jazz & pop songs for community events, church gigs, and have played regular gigs in bands playing pop, rock, jazz & soul tunes for private and corporate functions, large community events for decent crowds, local festivals, and some regional gigs on the bill with well known Aussie artists.
I’m reliable and on time, and prepare carefully for rehearsals and gigs, take care of my gear, and enjoy the chance to work hard with the group to deliver a successful performance.
