About Me

First of all, if you want to listen to the other songs on the "Stand Alone" mp3 player above, you have to click on the song titles. Only the first song will play automatically when the page loads. Also, if you click on "lyrics" of the individual songs, there are brief notes about each song. Now.... Im an Atlanta native, guitar player/singer/songwriter and live in Marietta. Ive played music most of my life and cannot imagine my life without it. I started out playing the drums at the age of eight but soon switched to guitar and have never looked back (Except to see who was playing drums) Ive been able to travel the world and have played just about every type of gig imaginable. Luckily, Ive always had the good fortune to play with some great musicians over the years and even though Ive occasionally felt like I was in over my head musically, Ive always tried to take the opportunity to learn from those who might know more than I. I consider myself to be a very versatile player and am relatively comfortable in just about any musical situation. I value a good guitar tone, the right feel, the right groove and tasteful playing over how many notes you can stick in any particular song. I am currently, happily playing and have been playing with THE MIKE VEAL BAND for about the last fifteen years! Come and check us out! Thats all for now..BTMyspace Layouts
