Bio

Ok, where to start?
I am mainly a guitar player, but I also play some bass and tinker on the drum kit.
I have a full-time regular job (in I.T.), and a family.
I recently caught the music bug again and started buying new equipment (And I still have my old stuff).
My playing style is more rhythm guitar and chord changes. My own stuff tends to lean towards straight ahead rock, ambient, shoe gazer, alternative, dream pop, post-rock stuff, experimental, but like many people who play music, I like a variety.

Influences
-
Lots-o-stuff. Anything with heart I tend to like.
To maybe help narrow it a bit, lately I've been listening to Band of Horses, Red Sparowes, World music (Asia and the Middle East especially), Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Minipop, Mew and Radiohead.
Experience
- I was in a band back in the late 80's early 90s. We played some covers, but mainly recorded and created our own music. We played a couple of gigs too.
I was heavily into writing my own music, so I bought a 4 track and recorded probably 100+ original songs.
I worked for about two years at a local recording studio on the technical side and with a producer.
Looking For
- Anyone willing to play music and have fun with it.
It would be nice to write/jam out songs with other folks and play some live shows around town. Most of all just play some music with fun people.
I have a drum kit, guitars (even a midi one), bass, a couple of keyboards, a PA and a small tube amp.
