MEGA experienced semi-retired professional. Looking for casual working band (2-3X weekly MAX). Not looking for drama kings/queens with delusions of grandeur, just regular gigs, some fun and NO stress.

Have played EVERYTHING in every imaginable situation (80's synth pop to professional orchestras and all points between). Literate and easy to get along with (team player) with a sense of humor and a VAST internal library of songs and genres = QUICK STUDY!! Background vocals (range mid tenor with upper and lower falsettos).

My primary approach is to play for the song FIRST regardless of visceral temptation. If you are being worn down by a drummer who has no regard for dynamics (pindrop quiet to artillary barrage loud without thought) or the lyrical content of your songs, I CAN FIX THAT.

Stewart Copeland, Manu Katche, Larry Mullin Jr., Bill Bruford, Phil Collins,
Keith Moon, Carter Beauford, Gary Husband, Dave Weckl, John Bonham, Steve Gadd, Omar Hakim and a host of others...
