Band to Join.ABOUT
My main instrument is acoustic / electric guitar lead or rhythm. Can also play basic Pedal Steel Guitar / harmonica if required. Have been playing since age of 18. Played gigs in several bands in the late 80’s and throughout the 90’s (Ballarat and Melbourne). On and off since this time. I enjoy any type of roots music, blues, early rock n roll, rockabilly, Americana, Ameripolitan, chicken pickin’ country, old country and Western Swing. Also enjoy Gospel, soul, RnB and funk.
