Band to Join.ABOUT
***I am looking for bands that are currently gigging, please no start up projects, thank you!***
Hello! My name is Richard and I have been playing drums for 25 years, started at age 7. Music definitely runs in the family. My father is an accomplished guitar player who's performed with groups and people such as The Chantays, Jan & Dean, Jim Fox of The James Gang, David Logeman of Frank Zappa, Tris Imboden of Chicago and more. I've been singing and performing professionally full time for the past 8 years with world class musicians and tribute acts such as The Fab Four, Desperado, numerous Beach Boys groups and others. I am extremely passionate about what I do. I have plenty of experience in singing lead and harmonies, playing progressive styles and recording in the studio.
