SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I started playing rock and blues in my twenties but always had a jazz influence. I joined a blues band in the mid 90's and stayed there for 15 years before forming a Latin influenced band because I loved the opportunity of further rhythmic exploration. Concurrent to this I spent three years with an Americana band until summer 2018. The Latin band is still working.
