Contact Musician Search Musicians Next Profile

Award-winning songwriter, working on 5th ep. Songs available on Pandora, Tidal, Spotify, iTunes, Apple, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, etc. Based in Tacoma, Washington. Serious, disciplined, dedicated, relentless, but not uptight. Major experience in marketing, promotion, social media, public relations, branding, fundraising. Strong work ethic. I don't consider myself a musician; a songwriter who can play well enough, but wants to keep improving. Deets:The aforementioned awards: 4 Golden Kayaks, Indie Music People, prolific singer-songwriter with deep catalog (40+ songs studio-produced and out there on all platforms known to humankind; 700+ songs written/copyrighted) Also play serviceable piano, guitar, harmonica. Google me to see more, including reviews in HuffEntertainment, PopDose, PopMatters, more.My quest: find a Ringo-like drummer (serve the song, check ego at door) and someone who can play bass/keys. One of those individuals should be able to sing solid harmony vocals. Both would be even better. Zee plan: rehearse (and get paid), gig (the paying kind, unless it's a marquee opportunity that might warrant playing for great exposure, networking, resume, etc.) ASAP locally, regionally, nationally, including college circuit. Europe tour is strong possibility in late 2019 or 2020. Yes, very serious.

Gear & Equipment

Acoustic guitar, with pick-up, Fender electric, Gibson ES-125 (early 60's) electric, microphones, harmonicas, banjo. Acoustic upright piano, so obviously can't take that to gigs! In the process of purchasing a portable keyboard and guitar amp. (Mine was stolen a while back. Sound familiar?)
