About Me


How I made my profile:

Who I'd like to meet: ANYONE! I'm still looking for a cool gig. no limits, multi genre. I'M AVAILABLE TO PLAY. so call me.
I'm looking for some original projects.
I'd like a songwriting partner. (I produced all of the tracks on here except "Sunshine on".) So I'd like to do some more of that.
I'd love to come and play for you. Yes: I'll do your recording session - for a big mac and a credit. If you're doing the music I love, I'll be a good fit.
Covers bands.3 piece pub rock bands? - er - other people do that better, but you never know.
I've been playing for TOO many years, The songs up there are in a variety of styles. Hopefully, I'm still learning. Did the pop rock thing already. Did the indi rock thing already. A few years ago I decided to go back to the music that I listened to as a kid and what it evolved into today. So: Motown begat 70s soul, begat funk, begat, Rnb and Hip Hop, and lets not forget the Jazz. ....... I needed a Low "B" string.
Currently
Looking for a new band or looking for musicians to reform the Soul Project Function band.
Own gear, Transport, studio setup and P.A. System
Money?
