Jim P + Musician in Huntingdon Valley, PA

ABOUT

Retired since 2018 which freed up more time for music...

Playing mainly keys & some guitar since teens, in various rock/cover/club bands during late 70s in western PA and late 80s in CA., Now back in the Philly area and presently playing out with two active cover bands, plus two "project" bands. Have a fully equipped studio at home.

Playing out every few weeks with quality group(s) in the general Bucks/Montgomery county area.. Also member of 100 voice symphonic choir and an excellent church choir.

Not expecting to make money, hit the road - just have fun making good music while covering the bar tab....

Understand music theory, read, notate and transcribe music (Finale...) and can be a pain in the ass to guitar bass players when I look at their hands and can see that they aren't on the right page....

Quick study and will do homework for new tunes...

Mainly keyboards, but also can handle leads (but not a screamer), harmony, and background vocals.

Classically trained bari/tenor voice, Like to do "duets".

Uploaded a few songs from me and my musician friends....
