I have been playing drums since I was 9 and received my first drumset when I was 11. Played my first paid gig at age 16 in a Classic Rock and Country Western band, then spent the last couple years of High School doing wedding and restaurant shows in a 50's & 60's band. Took a break from playing for 15 years so I could finish college and get my career of to a good start. Began practicing again with friends and co-workers in a jam/folk rock band called Hedgerow in 2005 and was asked by the bass player of that band to join Strick9 and the Truth (rap/hip hop band) in 2006. Decided to change back to playing more familiar music styles by joining the Cues (cover band) in January 2007 and we have been practicing 2 or 3 times per month while giging once per month on average ever since. Check out our website at www.myspace.com/thecues to hear more of our demo tracks and find out about our future shows. Contact me if you would like to jam sometime. I am always up for new experiences. mewingert AT yahoo DOT com.
