Band to Join.ABOUT
My name is Coy Simmons, and I am a multi-instrumentalist with focus on Alto and Soprano Saxophone. I have a bachelors degree in Performance from Berklee College of Music, and have also taught at Berklee during their 5-Week program. I also band lead for my own jazz-fusion group 'Vesuvio". I come from an extremely diverse musical background and love playing in any genre.
