SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I've been playing guitar since my teens and been in various bands - not pro but kind of serious. Currently I mainly play in Brighton and am looking for fellow travellers who are experienced and competent musicians in London. I just like to play - this could be at open mics, jazz jams or small gigs.
I like to play both acoustic and electric guitars - happy to play Dylan/Cohen songwriter stuff. As I'm now getting into playing some jazz - the funkier, bluesier end of jazz - I'd also be up for playing some jazz standards. I've included a version of 'Midnight Blue' in the uploads section.
