SEEKING

ABOUT

Mike York, born and raised in Syracuse, NY. Playing drums for over 25 years, playing guitar for about 15 years, singing for roughly 10-12 years. Ability to play anything on drums from Zeppelin to Rush to BTBAM to AAL, the list goes on. Prefer rock or funk/pop, but I can play anything, looking for a band or musicians that are experienced and love to have fun while playing great music.
If I get into a project that pays and plays every weekend, with a set list of Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, Rush, Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, Crue, etc, I'm your guy, a dedicated drummer.
