ABOUT

I have been in and out of various bands since late teens. I have time in with Joe Frazer , Gloria Gaynor, Shirly Goodman, and quite a few local party dance type bands mostly with horn sections.I've played country, bluegrass ,blues, progressive rock, you name it. Looking for some worthy locals guys/gals who have paid their dues and want to put something together for fun and take it from there. I'm not a lead type singer but can harmonize all night long.
