Hoss-Man + Musician in Alta Loma, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Lifelong musician who has played and sang rock, blues, metal, country and everything in between. Played original music for many years but for the last decade I have played in cover bands. I can sing everything from blues, pop, rock, to the demanding high notes of the 80s and can also play lead guitar. I have a full PA and use nothing but professional equipment. I am a member of the 80s Brigade (80sBrigadeDOTcom) out of the Inland Empire. Always interested in a situation that has great management and takes things seriously.

Effects: Plenty but I don't use much live unless the music calls for it. Pedals, processors, talk boxes, e-bows, vocalizers, etc. Of course each and every one of them, at some point in time, I just HAD to have.
