ABOUT

Hi, I'm interested in creative musical projects, ideally writing and recording original material and performing some live shows. I'm in a gigging and recording band already (Anything But Francis) and we play a few shows a year. So I generally have good availability for another band or project, just not looking to gig every weekend.

I have a broad taste in music, but I'm primarily into alt rock, pop, indie, folk, americana, country, acoustic singer songwriters and motown/soul. I'm leaning more towards acoustic music, americana, indie and alt rock currently and have original material ready to work with. I'm also keen to collaborate with the right musicians on their songs and to work on new ideas.

I am easy going, reliable, a quick learner and good collaborator with my own transport and decent equipment. I mainly play guitar and bass, plus electric drums and keys for song writing purposes, so would enjoy mixing things around where it's a viable option. I'm a solid musician but not a virtuoso and always prefer to put the songs first. I'm happy to perform some unusual, fun or creative covers, just not too interested in covering the usual overplayed staples (unless doing something pretty different with them).

I've played with bands at many gigs over the years at pubs, clubs, functions, festivals and weddings (including one at the National Marine Aquarium, as shown in photo!). I've stood in to help other acts at short notice a few times too. We also had a few live tracks featured on local radio and TV as Anything But Francis. My musical experiences have largely involved performing original material and writing my own parts for songs and contributing new ideas and material, but I also played with a covers band for 6 years and our setlists spanned a good range of genres. I have also enjoyed lots of experience recording many tracks in both professional and home studios over the years.
