ABOUT

(EDIT: Not actively seeking a band at this time.)

Would love to join or start an 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's "hits-only" project. It's the songs that people know, recognize, and can sing/dance to that bring the gigs and the fun.

I'm an ex road-warrior. Have played top-40, 80's, classic rock, southern rock, full-time OTR and weekend house gigs. Looking to get back into it for weekends or spot-gigs. Working/near-working cover bands preferred please. If you ever thought about adding keys to your guitar band, I've got you covered. billDOTcostiganATDOTnet
