Hey! I'm Geoff. I play in the metal band Symptom 7 and we're based out of NYC. We're a 3 piece band and try to make it sound as huge as possible! With some shredding, of course!

All members of Symptom 7 also play in Walker & the Brotherhood of the Grape which is a more singer songwriter oriented group.

You can shred all day but if ya can't write a song or bend a note with a good vibrato it means nothing!

Some of my influences:
Jimi Hendrix
Randy Rhoads
Allan Holdsworth
Tommy Bolin
Dime
Ace
Jake E. Lee
King's X

General Influences:
Bikes
1st Gen Camaros
and Beer

 

Quick bits of Geoff info:

  1. Guitar and lead vocals for Symptom 7
  2. Guitar for Walker & the Brotherhood of the Grape live band.
  3. Graduated Berklee College of Music with a degree in Jazz Arranging and Composition.
  4. Was featured in Guitar World Magazine in Mike Varney's Hometown Heroes. (Can't remember if it was '93 or '94 but Vernon Reid is on the cover and I believe it was April. Never live in the past...)
