I have been playing the saxophone for about 40 years. Before that I played piano and still have some limited ability on keys. It is not my primary instrument, but I’m working on brushing up to be more versatile. I can also do some vocal harmonies as an alto. I played for 6 years with a cover band that has recently disbanded due to some members’ health issues and other members being busy with other projects. I currently play with a guitar player in a duo called The Starving Artists, and I am looking for another cover/bar band to play with in the Michiana area. I am very serious and committed. I work hard at everything from practicing my music and being prepared for rehearsal to booking and promoting shows to hauling gear. I am definitely NOT a diva! I want to play out several times a month and will play any kind of music, but bluesy rock is my wheelhouse. I have a good ear and can create a saxophone part where there was none before, no matter what the style of music. If a song didn’t originally have saxophone, you will wonder why not!
