details
TEMP OUT OF TOWN & UNAVAILABLEWordy big-hair / big-grin Front-Man type guy. After hiatus from music since moving to Van, I'm keen to get back into something (preferrably vocal harmony-driven), get writing, & get gigging.
Sep interested in vocal harmonies, including M/F duets.
Though acoustic-oriented (Rogue Folk member!) I do love good hard rock and quite willing to sing and write lyrics if an existing band / lead guitar already has a vision for instrumentation. (Still, the world doesn't need another Classic Rock cover band, eh?)
Solid lead-vocals range & vibrato, blues grunts... native Anglo but also enjoy singing French, Spanish. Childhood classical violinist (RCM-10) with strong rudiments, life-long self-taught rhythm guitarist, singer-songwriter, and unpublished poet, blues-harp natural and recent budding mando enthusiast.
