ABOUT

Just moved to Tampa, searching for talented, experienced musicians that want to play 1 or 2 gigs a month and practice once a week. Would dig playing straight ahead jazz or funk, and always enjoy blues or rock. No musicians that are "trying to make it", please do not contact me. I am dedicated to my career and make plenty of money. Last band was alternative/rock in Jacksonville, before that a jam band gigging a 3-state area. Taught drum lessons for 2 years. I play rock, funk, blues, reggae, ska, jazz, latin jazz, hip-hop, country, jam. Email: rickpitterle at dot com.
