SEEKING
Violin, Keyboard, Drums, Bass Guitar.ABOUT
Currently, I'm playing with a drummer who lives in Phoenixville and his friend who's a very good bassist that lives in Doylestown. The bassist is in 2 other bands and can not play every show. My drummer is 2 other bands as well, but has more time and is committed to mine as well. He's excellent. I'd like to have another bassist play with me for when Jeff isn't available. I'm having a keyboardist play with us this Thursday. I'm not sure yet if he'll work out or for how long. Someone who can play and have an electric and acoustic guitar is ideal. Eventually and for certain shows I'd really like to have a violinist and back-up singer as well.

My first spoken word piece that I combined with an instrumental song I wrote a year prior called, "Blue Floyd". The 2 came together and formed a match made in heave that feels like heaven on earth.
