SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Founding member of Heather's Headache (Wash DC based band). Toured the east coast, played Vegas, had lots of fun - still member of band, but play less due to living in SLC now.
Previous bands include Wooden Nickels (alt country/rock), Sonic Soul (southern & classic rock), and Pieces of Eight (similar to stuff like Toad the Wet Sprocket).
I'm looking for an opportunity to play with talented and dedicated musicians; however, I am seeking a band that seeks 3-4 local shows annually and rehearses a couple of times a month, as I still play in Heather's Headache. I prefer alternative music, and would expect to produce one original album every two years.
I have two DW drumsets (6 and 5 piece), nine high end mics for recording/mic'ing the set, and a significant amount of lighting equipment (including a truss system, four moving intelligent head spots, lighting controller, LED cans and lighting bars and strobe panels) which significantly improves the energy of a live show.
Most common feedback from previous bands is my level of dynamics - playing with a range of very soft to intense. I'm generally not interested in Heavy Metal or other genres that are only at one ultra-high intensity, but rather I really enjoy music styles where the energy of the music moves in waves.
