SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

I am a 73 year old lounge/show entertainer playing music for a "living" my whole adult life. As a sequenced solo act for 25 years I'd rather not play to tracks/sequences anymore. "Oldies", 1950's through 80's is my strength for repertoire but love old "standards" from 30's-40's, etc. I'm looking for season, SW Florida fill-in gigs most Fridays, and assorted open days throughout the season into May 2024. I consider myself a "supporting cast" musician. Backup vocals w/good ear for harmony, the correct chords, emphasis on dynamics, arrangement, intros & endings, timing, etc. For 14 years I'm half of a "working steady" duo, "Ferguson & Rogers" but looking to supplement my income and diversify my playing abilities.
