Waves in Motion
My band is a band of one member, just me... I play the guitar (acoustic. electric, classical, and 12 string) and I am expanding into additional instruments including percussion in the form of congas, bass, mandolin, and de Venezuelan "cuatro". I also like to add melodies to my songs by whistling.
I have been playing the guitar for over 35 years, and have been composing progressions for the last 25 yrs. I have had the privilage of playing in 6 bands from Gospel, to classic rock, a bit of country, and instrumental arrangements with a classical twist/setting.
Just recently purchased a home recording studio and I am learning how to use it, and how to add additonal instrumentation.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I totaly enjoy playing live, and will play on any setting(s) I am allowed to play. My most special moment as far as a live performance goes was when I played (for a short stint) with a band in Northeast Nebraska by the name of Side Step. A country music band, and we opened for Blue County for an audience of over 4,500 -it was a blast!!!
I enjoy playing live @ Church, fund raisers, bars, open air, festivals, and/or any other venue that wants to hear my music and arrangements...
