A guitarist based in Dublin, looking to establish a three piece originals group with supplemented covers that fit the genre.
I work full-time, but gig on the weekends and record my own demos at home. My own band is called Neon River, playing Nashville style country music, where I switch between lead and rhythm duties, as well as lead and backing vocals.
I am also the lead guitarist of an established Johnny Cash tribute band, Walk the Line, and dep for bands where possible. Confident on stage and with a presence to connect with an audience is where I see my strengths, I'm not a flashy player but I try and play the right thing at the right time as much as possible.
I have a number of original songs written or at least in a demo stage to take to a rehearsal room and bring to life with a drummer and bassist, and potentially another guitarist. I'm really passionate about bringing this music out in 2025, particularly live, so I am committed to getting this off the ground as we done with Neon River.

EQUIPMENT
My main guitar is a Fender Telecaster, and occasionally a Gretsch semi-hollow.
My amps tend to lean on the cleaner side, a Supro Amulet and Boss Nextone for larger venues. Pedals are minimal but present!
Have plenty of recording gear for a modest setup, all gear for live shoes including in-ears, and my own transport.
