SEEKING
Vocalist - Tenor.ABOUT
I would love nothing more then to put together a rocking Tom Petty/Bob Seger tribute kind of band, including all the covers they did. I think people would love it, if we play it tight and right!
We would have plenty of gig opportunities.
Influences
Blues, Country Swing, Rock ‘n Roll
Favorite Artists
Little Richard, Ike & Tina Turner, Rolling Stones, James Brown, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, et.al.
Playing Credits
Have played in a variety of local bands and locations in the Metro area since 2004. Have played at the Little Bear in Evergreen four times with the Hogback Blues band.
Equipment
I play various Roland keyboards, Hammond XK3, Nord Electro 4.
Music Background
I have been playing piano since age 10. I never had any formal training on the piano, I have my own way of playing. I can read music (treble clef) but rarely ever do. For the most part I play by ear, but I have a very well trained ear. I’ve only had to research for the chord I couldn’t quite get maybe twice in the last 56 years (ha ha)!
Personal Interest
Traveling with my wife and dogs, music (playing gigs), volunteer work, spending time with family.
