ABOUT

From 2008 through 2014 I was the drummer and PA provider for a popular 90s cover band in Illinois. With this band and others, I've played 100s of shows. The only reason I left this band was due to a move to Phoenix in 2014. I can provide references upon request.

Now that I'm settled in the Phoenix area, I'm an experienced and well rounded drummer (25 years+) looking for a gigging cover band in the Phoenix area. Ideally I would like to play 90s rock/alternative or 80s rock/pop but I can play anything. I'm flexible for practice (rehearsal) almost anytime throughout the week and gigs on weekends (weekdays for special occasions...average of four gigs total per month would be nice).. I can learn nearly any song quickly, but here is a list of what I already know:
