ABOUT
Looking for new opportunities to play. I have played keyboard for many cover bands over the years, performing for corporate events, parties, weddings, music festivals, clubs, etc. I also am really good at singing harmony on songs with tight (3-4 part harmonies) vocals. I have done recording studio work for original songs too (if that's something you are interested in).
