SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a drummer AND guitar player with strong backing vocals/harmonies. My musical wheelhouse (on either instrument) is Rock/Classic Rock, Country & Blues.
I have worked steadily for over 40 years (live, studio & TV), been fortunate enough to perform all around North America with some very talented musicians, at every level of the business.
My goal now is simple ... work daily/weekly, in Las Vegas with appropriate compensation.
This idea can take on 3 possible forms ...
1.) Re-establish my country/rock band
OR
2.) Join an existing/established working band
OR
3.) Pick up local, sub-work
