ABOUT

Hey Everyone, I'm John.

Currently looking for lead Guitarist / Vocalist for our band...
We have a stage full of talent and need a clean lead guitarist and vocalist that would be interested in playing a varied mix of classic songs from the 70's to today...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been in several cover bands in the SW Florida area and have also played in several church worship teams over the yrs... I also spent 7 seasons as a performer in good standing with the North Port Symphony Orchestra.

I am a very proficient drum-set player and I play most styles of music including Rock, Classic Rock, Pop, Country (newer), Christian Contemporary/Praise and Worship and other similar styles/genres...

I am a very well rounded musician... I can play from light and controlled to driving and heavy and everything in between...

I am a good mix with duos and even a single guitarist or keyboardist doing all styles of music including Adult Contemporary, Americana, Jazz, Lounge, Wedding and Dance music...

I am "folk musician" friendly and have necessary skills for playing in low volume settings... I also have a pro level electronic set if required (not preferred, but available if necessary)...

I have been playing for over 40 years both as a hobby and professionally...

I have studio experience and have done studio work recording various tracks for other local area musicians...

I am available for fill in work (schedule permitting)...

EQUIPMENT

I put a lot of effort into maintaining my gear and I enjoy a great number of compliments on the quality and sound of my gear...

My main performance set is a Yamaha Rock Tour kit with a very nice Textured "Smoke" Sunburst finish and a large assortment of high-end Paiste Signature series cymbals...

I also own a smaller, what I refer to as a "cocktail kit" for more intimate gatherings or smaller venues where lower volume is of great concern while still maintaining a rhythmic presence.

In addition I have higher-end Roland TD-12 Electronic Drum-set with full capabilities...

I have a full set of Drum Mics with all necessary cables and stands along with my own rack-mounted audio mixing board and powered monitor/speakers...
