ABOUT

Attractive male mid range singer / Rhythm guitarist , can finger pic and swap back and forth in rhythm between pick strum and finger pic . Was a Christian worship leader for 12 years but grew up singing and listening to 60’s-80’s pop and rock . Looking to sit in with a band with potential of being helpful. Available any night and also willing to help with set up and break down. Which I’ve heard is a problem with some band members not wanting to do the work.
Full Background : was a tenor in a singing and dancing ensemble in the 1980’s . Won many state competitions including %1 in Florida in sight singing. No accompaniment 5 minutes with sheet music, go out on stage and get a C note to start and sing it. Graded on accuracy, to the writing ,tone quality , ease of performance and feeling. ( ie “with feeling”)
Started singing in a worship band and learned to play guitar 15 years ago then moved on to lead singer while playing rhythm guitar .
Love to play and sing and entertain anyone interested. Can sing anything. As for gigs over my lifetime , innumerable I’m a business owner so I can make up my own schedule
