SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Other Percussion, Piano, Saxophone, Vocalist, Vocalist - Baritone, Vocalist - Bass.ABOUT
I'm a 23-year-old who was born in the wrong era. I barely listen to any modern music, as I was raised listening to anything from Steely Dan and the Pat Metheny Group, to Depeche Mode, Thomas Dolby, and the Talking Heads. I play a little bit of everything, but have been playing the keyboard for 18 years, and am in two separate Pink Floyd tribute bands as keyboardist and (co)-lead vocalist. I also play keys, bass guitar, and sing as needed at a few churches in the central Ohio area. In college, I was a professional, paid musician in a public relations band employed by the university, and we toured the US for about 3 years, before I left the school. I'm not entirely sure what else I'm wanting to get into, I just figured it would be a good idea to make a profile on here. However, I'm really interested in the possibility of starting or joining a Depeche Mode or Radiohead tribute band...
Right now I'm trying to get another "day-job", as I've left the one I've worked for, for a while... so my -immediate- schedule is a bit up in the air, but I'll update my profile as soon as I can.
Drop me a line!
