Band to Join, Vocalist - Tenor, Vocalist - Soprano, Lead Guitar, Keyboard, Piano, Steel guitar.ABOUT
I am available to join a band that play's classic rock to R&B tunes. I have been told that I have a good voice and carry a tune pretty well. Lead and background vocals are okay. I love harmonies and have toured the country with the 70's Soul Jam. I also have an interest separately in doing an acoustic project where the musical repetoire is well known tunes done in a classy artistic manner. Professionalism and good dynamics in a musical product are very much appreciated.

Influences
My musical influences are quite varied and extensive because I have been tuned into the music scene since I was little listening to the radio as I grew up on the streets of Brooklyn. As it pertains to influences, I fancy the Beatles, Zepplin, Floyd, Queen, Aerosmith, Stones, R&B, Blues to name a few. As far as easy listening or R&B, I love Classic Motown, Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, and "Philly Sounds like Harold Melvin's Blue Notes, the Delphonics, the Stylistics, etcetera.
