My name is David James Zoppi. I am a Professional Keyboard Player seeking employment with an actively working band (R&B, Soul, Funk or Blues Band preferably). In addition to keyboards, my keys also allow me to add (Horn and String accompaniment) as well as other instrumnents...

I would also consider teaming-up with a JAZZ COMBO in search of an organist; as I also play swing jazz/blues organ in the styles of: Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Groove Holmes, Earl Grant, Wild Bill Davis.

I am also an award-winning organist; and have received the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award and the Liberace Keyboard Entertainer Search Award for the New England Region... I also opened for the Mercer Ellington Big Band in Upstate New York.

I have worked with: Nancy Lynn & A Touch of Brass, local well-known blues bands and many other groups over the years; and my repertoire spans over 70 years - from the 30's to to the present!

In addition to my work as a performing musician, I am also a recording artist. Our music has been played on many radio stations both locally and nationally; including WEIB Radio 106.3 Smooth FM as their featured recording artists.

I am professional, experienced, dedicated, punctual, committed and creative high-energy musician with no vices; who seeks a band that is not so structured in the sense that they have the ability to take a song; and make it their own! I am seeking a long-term commitment with a band interested in performing all venues...

If interested, please feel free to contact me by e-mail, or phone and ask for Dave!
