kinrabe + Musician in Whitewater, WI

ABOUT

I was the lead singer of a blues & classic rock band called Cross Eyed Jack for two or three years. I moved to Whitewater, Wisconsin in June 2010 and have worked with some different people, including my friend Roy who is a fantastic guitar player and likes the old tunes as much as I do.

From 2011-2013 I fronted a band called Everyday Kings, an alternative rock band that played a lot of original music. We had some great shows and released an album in 2012.

Currently I am also fronting Titan Fun Key, a band made up of professors from Whitewater. We play mainly 70s rock.

I'm always willing to consider doing small projects, studio work, etc. I'm willing and capable of singing in almost any genre/ style. I love to sing the blues, but there's nothing like amps blasting out rock and roll! Good rock bands play blues anyway, look at the Stones, Cream, the Doors, even Sabbath.

Let me put it simply: to me there is absolutely nothing better than singing with talented musicians behind me and an excited crowd in front. If I could do that every day until I die, I would.

I've been working on guitar since late 2009. My progress has been slow but I can play a few dozen tunes, mainly just chords. I'm not trying to present myself as anything other than a singer, but some of my uploaded tunes feature me on guitar, and you can tell I'm a novice.

If you ask anyone I've worked with they'll tell you I'm down to earth and easy-going. I'm happy to compromise to make a band work, and always ready to carry equipment!
