SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Saxophone, Keyboard.ABOUT
Basically I'm a Jazz fusion and smooth jazz drummer, and I have played blues and R&B.in my past and present experiences. I have played classic rock, and oldies with people like: Al Wilson, The Olympics, Rosie(for you young people she is known for the song "Angel baby" back in the day). I have played gospel, and a little country western too. Whatever I'm playing, I do it in a professional manner. I am interested in meeting some Jazz and R&B musicians/vocalist in the Adelanto / High Desert area for gigs. I get contacted to put together bands for different events, and I make sure they are decent paying gigs. Please send me a message any time, I really like making musician friends. I'm an easy going guy that loves to play music. A special l note: If you have a gig (Hopefully a paying gig) and need a drummer at the last minute and I'm available, give me a call or text at (909)-531-8238.
