Bass Guitar, Drums.

ABOUT

Best way to see us is to visit our webpage at : .desotoroadband. Our Bass player has had to step down due to some health issues, and our drummer has taken on other committments. We are looking to replace both. We have a large number of songs and if you have vocal skills for back-up or even singing lead on a few songs that is a plus. Please contact us through our band email "desotoroad " (spaces added to reduce spam). We have venues that would like to hire us again so finding gigs and bookings should be fairly easy.
