ABOUT

Day-Job family man, and has-been great Vocal performer, rediscovering the joy of playing music, looking to maybe get back in the game. Looking to meetup with a band/group, practice a few times a month, maybe plan a gig 6 months into things....

I'm mostly a singer / vocalist with hobbyist-level proficiency in Guitar (20Yrs), Ukulele (5yrs) and Piano (5yrs). I was trained classically in vocal performance from age 9 (opera, choir etc.), then did musicals in HS, majored in vocal performance briefly in college....but it sucked the FUN out of music. I'm still finding my "Rock" or "Soul" voice....it's been a 20 year effort to unlearn/break-down my opera chops; but I'm getting REALLY close to the right place.

Band:
I'd really like to find 2-3 like-minded musicians who want somebody to primarily sing, but could also play a support instrument (see above). Ideally, somebody with skills totally opsite to mine, mainly rhythm and theory.....so in order of viability: Drummer/Bassist (rhythm driver), Keyboardist/Lead Guitarist (color guy), generalist/vocalist (somebody just like me)
