SEEKING

Vocalist, Drums.

ABOUT

Looking for a vocalist and a drummer for a rock, funk, R&B, blues band in Florence. We are The Mighty Puffins and currently have bass, keyboards, sax and guitar. We have a steady gig at the Laughing Crab on Bay St. in Florence. We need to get up and running quickly, so a high level of commitment is needed. We are all highly experienced musicians looking for a drummer with a solid groove and a vocalist who can cover a variety of styles.

I also need top-flight musicians to call in for studio work. And, I offer my recording studio expertise to songwriters and bands who want to record their music.

The audio samples on my page are three of my original compositions. "So What" is my original arrangement of the Miles Davis song. All of these will be on my upcoming album "Krosskurrents". It's a funk/jazz instrumental album that I recorded in my studio with live musicians.
