On the cover-tunes side of things, I play some current Top-40, but mostly contemporary and classic-sounding rock, Heartland Rock, Country-Southern Rock, and Blues.
In terms of originals, I write in a variety of genres: rock, folk-rock, and jazz-pop, and have about 30 tunes in my songbook of originals.
I played full-time professionally in the late 1990s / early 2000s, and have pro attitude and gear. For cover tunes, I have a songbook with over 150 chord-and-lyric charts with accompanying MP3 audio files, which can fast-track learning tunes during practices. If you have charts of songs you perform, I’m open to learning some of the tunes in your repertoire.
To hear samples of the band I was in during the height of the Vancouver cabaret / club scene, check out the band “Frontier Justice” on SoundCloud at: https://soundcloud.com/frontier-justice
