ABOUT

What I am trying to do is join or form a group that consist of a vocal section and an instrumental section. I have attended several high class weddings in which bands were hired at a rate of $2000 to $5000. These bands consisted on average of 4-6 vocalists and 4-6 instrumentalists including a brass section.

The song list of these bands consist of top hits of today including every genre from pop to rock to country to EDM and a lot of Motown.

I am not interested in forming another rock band. People do not hire rock bands. They hire wedding and dance bands. My focus will be on dance music.

Here is a little about me. I started playing the piano in 2nd grade 1964. I took lessons from Sister Mary Scherr. She was the church choir director and truthfully she was a great musician and friend. I took lessons from her all the way up to 1983. From then on, I took music lessons from college instructors because I wanted the very best. The Rowan University Choir in which I was in performed at Carnegie Hall in NY the one Barbara Streisand performed at. Most of my musical expertise is in original music. My bands recorded the songs we played. My one group recorded in Nashville and Hollywood at The Whiskey a Go Go. I have been in and out of recording studios for a while now. In Philly we recorded at the studio that recorded Billy Joel among other major artist.

So that is my musical history. At this point I would like to join or form a band based on pop dance music.
