This is an exciting opportunity to tour with a crazy, fun, original band! You must be professional, uninhibited, and able to bring across a confident, sexy vibe on stage. You cannot be shy!
I write all the words and music, play all the instruments in the studio, and have built a loyal international following. Looking for a live keyboardist who has what it takes. This is a great opportunity for the right individual! You must have good chops, be professional, be uninhibited, and be able to bring a strong, sexy personality across on stage. My reputation as a crazy, wild, sexy, high energy, hilarious performer who gets audiences excited, has to be matched by my band.
For my current tour, I am putting together a three-piece band. I am the front man on guitar and vocals. I come across as a crazy rock star, dressed in a full pimp suit complete with peacock feathers in my hat, singing mostly sexual comedy lyrics to highly-original, rocked-out, fun-loving tracks. Some songs have more serious lyrics that have actually been nominated for best lyrics category. The sex songs are usually harmlessly couched in euphemism. Audiences love this music, with new listeners often sing along with a song they've never heard, before the song is over!
We often have back-up dancers, called the Slam Ponies, who do choreographed dance numbers to each song, and go thru 15-20 elaborate costume changes. We also have a professional screen show, lighting, lasers, fog, and effects.
My reputation is built on my unique charisma and exceptional background. I hold a masters degree in clinical psychology, am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I went to traditional Oriental medical school, and practice Chinese herbal medicine and acupressure, and I am an internationally-acclaimed energy healer (trained in Reiki, Quantum Touch, Chinese Energetic Medicine, Medical Qi-Gong, Pranic Healing, etc.), and a published author, and have been a presenter at medical conferences. My fans constitute almost a cult following, expecting me to perform energy healings when I am in their state, talk with them, etc. The musical brand is multifaceted, with humor, deep philosophical lyrics, shocking stage shows, lots of sexual mojo, along with heart-centered beautiful themes. Band members must be able to act wild on stage, and still be able to be professional off stage, and be pleasant and comfortable interacting with fans, as they will look up to you and look to you as a source of inspiration, based on my reputation. (For the right keyboardist, I will consider training you in energy healing, so you can help out with providing healing work on tour.)
We will have the talented Cameron Camembert on bass and backing vocals. Cam hails from Maryland, is 26 years old, and plays multiple instruments and sings. He will be dressed in steam punk wardrobe.
We are looking to fill the female keyboardist position. We will help develop and professionalize you as a performer, giving you an appropriate stage name, helping you develop a fitting public persona based on your personality, design your custom stage wardrobe, etc.
Drums on this tour will come from backing tracks, and we will be doing a scaled down show without backup dancers for out-of-state shows. Tri-state area performances will be more elaborate productions.
I have performed on national TV, have been on reality TV with beloved characters such as the pot-smoking dinosaur, have a song licensed to a video game, have performed for celebrity parties, performed with other famous bands, and more.

• the New Jersey jazz legend, Stephen Fuller (who opened for Stevie Wonder, & Bill Withers) contacted me and said my song, ‘Finally Getting Nowhere,’ had a “Great sound, and even better lyrics. I had to have it in my collection, so I purchased it. Best of luck with the project.”
For my second album:
• I flew in from England producer Tony Fennell, former lead singer of gold-selling band, Ultravox, to produce the album
• co-produced by gold-selling artist, Chip Z’Nuff, formerly of Enuff Z’Nuff. Chip is a reality TV show personality, and his band has been hailed by Rolling Stone magazine, and they have appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, Howard Stern, etc. They are currently touring Europe.
• Tony and Chip are good friends of mine now, and we have performed together.
• mixed by platinum-selling mixer/producer, Chris Steinmetz (Rhianna, Kanye West, Madonna, Jay-Z, Kiss, R. Kelly, etc.)
