I’m Rio, 26, from the Northampton area.
I’ve been playing guitar since I was 10 and picked up both the drums and bass along the way.
My current band, Spring Park, is in hiatus and not sure when they will be out of it.
I need a band that wants to tour and perform live as much as possible, down for whatever’s as my work are very flexible.
I prefer playing rhythm guitar, lead is not really an option for me as I can’t throw myself round the stage like an idiot. Bass is what I’ve been playing mainly for over a year. So anything with rhythm.
In my time with my current band I have also contributed to backing vocals. I really just love preforming and playing music, it’s my life.
I can also mix and record if that helps. But only from home I’m not rich enough for a proper studio and that.
Anyway, if you’ve read this drivel of my life till this point thanks again and… Party on Dudes.
