I also was never good with the marketing/booking side of things, which makes it even harder as a solo act. I had a pretty busy run between 08-11, but things slowed down considerably once I got engaged/married.

Haha all good, Mike is a good dude and is good, dude! So I grew up playing saxophone and played alto / tenor until college, ended up going away from sax and started playing guitar in 2007, loved learning the instrument and then eventually started having an interest in trying to sing over what I was playing. Around 2012 started taking vocal lessons and am now 5 years into working on vocals, currently through a music school and teacher from Berklee. Have been working on songs that will end up being part of a setlist for solo acoustic gigs and testing them out at open mics, will be starting actual paid gigs in the spring! I actually don't have a goal of having a band but I absolutely want to go back and forth between solo acoustic and an acoustic duo, one of my friends is pretty talented ..

It's all pretty exciting right now because while I've played open mics forever it's starting to turn into more of a professional thing, a lot to look forward to. I saw your band's post for next Friday on FB, not sure what the night looks like yet but I'll let you know!
