ABOUT

Seeking full time or part time position. Seeking sub or permanent position in hopefully soon to be working band. Start up ok as long as work is on horizon. Seeking seasoned players who are dedicated to their craft. I've performed in t-40 variety bands, all kinds of music from t-40 cover funk, r&b, r&r, blues, alternative, latin, reggae, oldies, tribute, jazz, and country. Last full time band was Big River country band in San Diego. We played clubs, parties, fundraisers, barn dances, corporate events, every weekend. Also played in Backstreet (look on for backstreetband2009) for 12 years a t-40 variety band. We played disneyland several times, hotels, corporate functions, parties, clubs, casinos, etc. through LA, San Diego, and Palm Desert and Ventura Counties. Currently subbing seeking a band.
