SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer.ABOUT
16 May 24: Currently, I am a new arrival to Bonita Springs, Combat Vetaran originally a night club style singer and lead. Over the last few years I primarily Sang the National Anthem for any occasion mostly fund raisers. Formally a vocal impressionist, I worked toward sounding as close to the original artist as possible back in the day. I'm just getting back to it after decades of other things I am practicing vocals and need to get a stage piano which I will be getting end of month, piano will take at least 6 months. Guitar (chukka chukka) same 6 months, I'm retired so I definitely have the time. I'm working on a "strong suit" song list of tunes that I will be practicing to get my vocals back up but I can sing back up easily.
