SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist - Soprano.

ABOUT

Very diverse and experienced team player looking for a working or close to working band. Prefer (SOUL) funk, blues, R & B, motown type but my experience ranges from McCartney to Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power). I can sing backup vocals and a couple leads. The majority of my experience is with party dance type bands with horns but have been doing a few unplugged country rock duo gigs and would be open to the right situation with a tasty guitarist/songwriter/singer. A classic/progressive rock band would be nice also. Get back to me and let me know your situation. Be happy to talk... Doug
