Looking for a talented giging 70s/80’s cover band. I am a drummer and backup singer with experience playing in bands playing in a variety of styles including rock, pop, jazz, and country. I studied drumset/percussion/music performance at Houston Baptist University and at the University of North Texas (UNT). I was a member of the regional band “Ransom" for 15 years recording and playing at venues throughout Maryland, Virginia and DC. I also have played in local jazz quartets and I can sing backup vocals.
