SEEKING

ABOUT

Former union pro with years of road experience, and 28 musical theater productions. Retired, and looking for mature former or semi-pros who understand the rehearsal process, and how to create a marketable product for occasional gigs; emphasis on "OCCASIONAL".
No Recreational Only Jam Bands, please. Nothing at all wrong with that. But for me playing out should be the end-goal of rehearsals. Just seems like all of that effort, talent, and creativity should be taken out for a spin around the block every so often.
Have rehearsal space. Highly recommend earphones to hear drums on the attached media. I am not singing on any of it, but do solid backup and the occasional lead vocal. I'm pretty laid back, and would like to find same.
I'm also devastatingly handsome.
OK. I made that last part up.
