ABOUT

Hi

The name's Martin. I'm an experienced guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. I'm currently involved in a couple of projects - a Santana tribute and jazz-rock outfit - but I'm always interested in hearing from other musicians, singers and songwriters with a view to getting involved in anything interesting.

I am currently actively seeking a keyboards player to join the Santana tribute - and who could possibly get involved in the jazz-rock outfit too. Interest in either or both is very welcome.

A bit more about me:
I enjoy playing a diverse range of music: jazz, soul, latin, funk, blues, rock etc. and I like to work with similarly-minded folks who don't want to be restricted to playing a single, narrow genre.

My Soundcloud tracks show the wide range of musical styles that interest me and I've been involved in. There's stuff ranging from hard rock through to mainstream jazz and be-bop.

I have good gear, a decent PA (certainly powerful enough for pub/club gigs), some stage lighting and transport. I'm also reasonably proficient at recording and mixing using Logic Pro.

I'm based near Caterham, East Surrey - about 5 miles south of Croydon.
