About

Always looking to network with new musicians and I'm open to new and exciting opportunities to serve the Lord through music.

I currently play a dozen or so gigs throughout the year for benefits, private parties, etc in a secular band (www.reverbnation.com/theelektratones) and I am the drummer for three services at our church every Sunday. Additionally, I have a little session experience and would be interested in helping with any studio work.

I am interested in finding like minded individuals who want to minister through music outside of the church walls to a lost and dying world. Currently, my availability is limited as a result of my time dedicated to family, job, and current drumming obligations. However, if the right band and or people came along with the same like minded ideas that I have, I would consider "jumping on the bus" as they say to travel the weekends and spread the word.

My priorities in life are God, Family, Work, & Fun (in that order). Fun includes my passion for playing music. I appreciate any and all opportunites to play.

Feel free to contact me at jjweber@workwearamerica.com for further info or questions about me.
