ABOUT

I am, a drummer who plays other instruments and strong vocally.

1. Moved to Grandview a year ago. When I left Wichita, I was playing in an awesome rockabilly band. I'd love to do that again. (I played rhythm guitar, keys, harmonica and lead vocals) So anyone interested, please hit me up.

2. I'd also love to get a duo or trio going playing hits from the 50s thru the 80s. I have 80 thousand midi files (yes, you read that right). We can create all the back up we need. I already have a lot ready to go. Some of it requires female vocals ( Cher, The Shirelles, The Ronettes, Alannah Myles etc.). but I have great guy stuff too. I played as a one man show for a living for 19 years doing this.

3. What I'd really enjoy doing is putting together a gospel duo, trio, or more to play for benefits. Some friends and I got together and did that to raise money for a girl who needed an operation to walk again. Guess what... She's up and doing everything we all do, even got married.

4. FYI: I'm a Christian, so I need to play music with people I'm equally yoked with. I don't judge others, but I need to play with people who can keep their language in check and who don't do drugs (420 included) or drink to excess. I don't care if you drink. Just not to excess when around me. Been there..done that.. Clean and sober 42 years. What you do on your own time is none of my business, just please don't bring it around me.

5. Whoever contacts me: please play AND sing. If we do the duo thing using midi files, I can take out the bass if you are a bass player. I can take out the keys if you are a keyboard player... and so on.
6. Lastly,..I don't care how many bands you are in. I'll even come out and support your group. I just want to get back to playing.

If you want to check out my drumming, go to 'Michael Harber's fun times at drums' on be to see a 7 minute video of 'short clips' of me playing. The first 6 are at the same place, but more after that. Even one of me playing when I was the music director for a Ringling owned circus Fun Fun Fun!!!!!

Influences

Too many to mention but oldies only. I played music as a one man show for 19 years. The more styles I played, the more opportunities I had to keep working. So if you like it I'm probably on board.
