Compensation can be discussed. So far i've had much positive feedback and really want to play as much as possible. I recently moved to Victoria in early summer from Courtenay, BC. I'm in the process of trying to start an original rock band with some covers as well.

I may have help sometimes but the majority will be just I, playing some old songs, some new songs, and some familiar songs. Looking forward to meeting you all out there! Still looking to start or join a Rock band as shared Lead Guitarist, and Lead Vocals, possibly shared as well. I would need a bassist, drummer, and another guitarist for starters. I want to start rehearsing and performing in and around Victoria as soon as possible! Check out my website to hear my solo album from last year.
