I played professionally for 12 years and I worked mainly in top 40 show bands and rock bands. Stayed on the road making a living playing 5-6 nights a week and worked major night clubs, Holiday Inns, and Ramada Inns on the US East coast. Shows ranged anywhere from Elvis to the Doors and a lot of avenues in between working for the Long Island, NY booking agent Pinnacle Talent Productions. I also have been involved in doing Broadway shows for the Richey Suncoast Regional Theatre. Crazy avenue to go down but a lot of fun and I've learned a lot about Broadway music and shows. I am a very committed working drummer and I play accordingly to the gig we are working. I am currently working with the Bayou Boys band and unfortunately, things are about to change. I am interested in pursuing an established working band at this time or a band that is ready to go out and play. I have done all the booking for my band, have great reputation and relationship with club owners and managers. To hear the band I currently play in, please check the calendar of dates, or call me at 727-992-5217, or e-mail me at jeffolestampabay.rr or reply to my Bandmix website, ://bandmix/jeffoles
