ABOUT

I'm a drummer recently moved back to Northwestern Indiana looking to join or start a band. I sing background, can arrange vocal parts, am a baritone can hit high A head voice with decent falsetto. Leaving my band after 12 yrs. cause I just can't take the 2 1/2 hour drive each way to practice and gigs. Have tunes on my page at Bandmix s/n = Joe 517836.

Genres: Classic Rock, Rock, Funk, Blues, Country.
Have done studio work, was on the road for 8 yrs. Have been in several original bands.
Have sample music of current band, although I am flexible and not limited to this kind of music. If it's good, I'm in. Timing, dynamics, and strong vocals are a must.
Let me know what you're into.
