Drums.ABOUT
Hi,
Please send me your music- so I can hear your chops. Also, please send me a recent picture of yourself.
Check out our my band : ./taraelliottblues
We play all over NJ & NY now and will be touring- our agent is currently booking our future tours.
Please read our blogs there- so you know the kind of major press (The Star Ledger, The Aquarian/East Coast Rocker, Asbury Park Press Metromix), contacts and accomplishments (ex: sharing the stage with legendary acts) we have made.
The first 4 songs on the player have just been posted.
Take a listen so you know what kind of music we do... We ROCK!!! ;)
Monster Magnet's Bob Pantella recently engineered our EP, to be released on Friday, August 27th. Pantella is also featured on the drums of "Teenage Secret".
Our goal is to get signed and we are well on our way with the contacts that I am making.
I am looking for a serious, very committed, talented drummer who is willing and able to tour.
Thank You & I look forward to booking an audition with you,

"Power trio Tara Elliott & The Red Velvets, who hail from Long Branch, invoke the raunchy mix of blues and punk pioneered by Iggy & the Stooges." -Jim Testa, The Star-Ledger
