SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Drums, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
I’ve played guitar for nearly 30 years, growing up with all the 90s guitar bands and later exploring the 80s/70s/60s. Been in various originals and covers bands over the years with plenty of live experience and ideally would like to join or form a covers band. Happy to play any of Bass, Rhythm / Lead guitar (or split lead duties etc) and can add some backing vocals here and there. Also have a good level of sound tech / engineering to offer. Would like to find a project that’s as much friendly fun as it is focused on sounding great and finding enjoyable gigs.
