ABOUT

Strong tenor, clear voice, love harmonizing. I've been in bands since college but most recently in a top 40 cover band. Traveling techie engineer (mostly in New England) but am seeking the right vibe. For the right band, I will find time in my schedule to practice and gig. I am a committed musician with a wide vocal range and a great attitude. No ego, true team player.

I have posted two original songs to my profile. I recorded them in 2010 (has it really been that long?) with some session buddies of mine. I sing lead and play acoustic on one tune (All You Are) and sing lead on the other (Father to Son).
