I am a professional vocalist and Music Producer seeking band projects in Northeast Ohio (Cleveland) area. Does anybody sing harmonies anymore? Would love to crush some great vocal group stuff with some great singer/players a la Eagles/Little River Band/Doobies, etc. But I also love progressive pop, classic and modern rock and great R&B. I'm also a songwriter, lyricist and producer and would be interested in collaborating and performing some original music as well. I'm also available for production projects for demos, EPs and more.

I have spent a lifetime involved in the performing arts as a singer, actor, director and songwriter. I've performed and directed in musical theater, rock and pop groups and other performing groups for years. I am currently the Lead Singer of the rock cover band Aces & Kings. I was the Band Leader and one of the Lead Vocalists of The Avenue www(dot)geoffreybshort(dot)com/band) one of Northeast Ohio's most in-demand special event dance bands, performing at hundreds of weddings and other special events. I worked full time as booking agent for over 25 live bands and 20 DJs. I am experienced in and love nearly all genres - rock, pop, country, R&B, Motown, Standards/Great American Songbook, show tunes - even heavy metal, etc. Especially adept at tight harmonies. While most of the work I did with The Avenue was for private events, I'm also interested in club and/or original projects as well. Learn more at geoffreybshort(dot)com.
