Blues, Soul and Rock n Roll.

Description

I’m a guitar player and I can sing and do backing vocals and I’m looking to start or join a band. I play a lot of other instruments but guitar is my main thing, I usually prefer playing lead guitar but I wouldn’t mind being the rhythm guitar player if a band already has the lead covered. I have plenty of experience, I don’t mind driving and I’m quite easy to deal with. I’d say my biggest influences are Steve Cropper, early Jeff Beck (on Yardbirds), BB King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters and Wilko Johnson. I play a few Fender Esquires (because of Cropper and Jeff Beck!), a Gibson ES355, a Vox AC30, a Fender Tweed Deluxe and a Martin D28. I’d love the play some Stax and Motown stuff, I’d love to play some old blues, some 50s and 60s rock and roll or something in between. I love to get in the studio with people and write tunes and I’d love to write some songs mixing everything we’re into but I don’t mind playing covers. I’m also open to something that is not exactly what I listed, I really just want to play. Let me know if that sounds interesting! And here’s a lot of different popular groups I’m into and that I’d love to do something similar to help with the search.
