Hi there! My name is Derek and I am in an SF-based rock band called The Living. We have been together for a little over two years, writing material and gigging all over the bay area. We finished our first record just shy of the new year and are looking to take it out beyond the bay area.

I have used CS in the past as an individual, surfing to SLC, Vegas, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and have always had extremely enjoyable experiences with highly engaging people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My band is looking for some awesome people that don't mind hosting us for a few hours to sleep after the show before driving to the next show.

Taking time off work to play music is expensive, not to mention all of the various travel fees incurred. We would be beyond grateful to have a couch or a floor to sleep on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My band made an awesome record and we're touring the west coast completely independently...pretty amazing to me :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to share guitar/bass/drum lessons with anyone. Would definitely get you on a guest list to our show when we hit your town!

Would love to hang out when you make your way to SF!
