Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.

ABOUT

I have been in Classic Rock bands, Heavy Metal bands, and original Progressive Rock bands. When I play Classic Rock, I feel it's important to play the songs exactly how people know them. But, when I play original music, I'm more of a Neil Peart, in that I like to hit a lot of different things to make my contribution to the band more "musical", and not just the beat-keeper. Although I have a very large, rack-mounted drum kit, I can easily scale it down, using individual stands for playing small clubs. I've been the lead singer on several classic rock songs, as well as a backing vocalist. I'm looking for musicians to jam with on weekends, and hopefully play some gigs around town.
