ABOUT

I am seeking like minded, mature musicians for live performance in a variety of venues. There are no limitations on genres but I would rather stick with anything which is pleasing to the ear. Music that people can get up and move to. If it means playing covers with a few originals, so be it.

Instrument types: Acoustic/Electric guitar, bass, keyboards, saxophone, vocals, backup vocals etc.

I am open to all inquiries but must stress; I'm looking for experienced, professional musicians with positive attitudes and a strong work ethic.
