ABOUT

Formerly vocals/guitar in alternative rock bands Pieces of Beth and Vaccine7, looking for a new band and/or studio project. I'm a versatile guitarist, able to write original material and learn covers quickly, and in a lot of genres, alternative rock, blues, southern rock, jazz, metal, prog. No stranger to alternative tunings.

I'm a professional, committed and creative songwriter. I have played gigs around the country in various bands, including depping for cover bands when needed.

Looking to join or form a band as either vocals/guitar or guitar/backing vocals.

I also have a project called Mercury Herself, where I put out music I've made solo. It's on all major streaming platforms - mercuryherself
