SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm looking to play and sing covers with some talented fun people, gigging once every week or two. Would like to join a band as a drummer, and can sing lead and vocals while drumming. I also play acoustic and elec rhythm guitar and sing, and would like to explore a duo act with the right person.
My preferred music is Classic Rock, Rock, Pop, some Country. I'm looking for someone who wants to play quality music together and have a fun time doing weekend shows at bars and expanding into higher paying private gigs on weekends and weeknights. I'm mature, dedicated, responsible, drama-free, and fun. Please message me here if you're interested.
