Attitude

I'm a pretty laid back guy who finds joy playing/singing simple acoustic arrangements of various styles of music. I am also a songwriter and find solace when sitting down with just my guitar and pen/paper to let the creative juices flow and see where it leads. Right now I'm working with an acoustic bass player, and an acoustic lead player, looking for a female vocalist.
