ABOUT
I am an active musician currently working with a few bands in the Orange County, CA area. I am available for hire - short notice is usually OK. I've been performing for over 30 years in a wide range of environments including bars, restaurants, hotels, weddings, park concerts, festivals, private & corporate events, and even some note-worthy venues like The House of Blues and the Honda Center. I have decent gear and a full (small) PA system, suitable for most small indoor venues.
As of this posting (September 2019) I am not looking to join a band unless it's a really great opportunity, but I am available to help out any bands in the area in need of a temp or sub (guitarist, bassist, or vocalist). I am formally trained and used to be able to read sheet music. I am good with charts and have over 1,000 songs in my repertoire covering everything from classic rock to jazz standards. I am currently self-employed so I make my own schedule.
Therefore, I am available for weekday or weeknight gigs as well as weekends. And if the money is decent I'm available to travel (Phoenix, Vegas, San Diego, Sacramento, central CA coast, Reno, etc.).
