I am a singer/songwriter and I play the piano/keyboard. The music I write and sing is a mix of classic country/blues and rockabilly. I would love to form a band that could re-create the sound of Sun Records in the 50s. I like the sound and style of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams , Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Gene Vincent, etc...I sing with another band, but am beginning to form my own band. I have a stand-up bass player and ryhthm guitarist. I would love to find someone who plays electric guitar and possibly a drummer who would enjoy the country/rockabilly style and want to work on originals and covers. Pedal steel or dobro or banjo would be cool too. I have performed throughout WI and have opened for the likes of Willy Porter, Shannon Lawson and Craig Morgan.
I look forward to hearing from you.
