SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm an empty-nester with a professional day job and am now getting back into the fun part of life! I have a degree in vocal music from many years ago. I'm not really a guitar player, but know a few basic chords and can sing and play sometimes. I'd rather have a "real" rhythm guitar and a lead guitar (both). I'm a lead vocalist. For the music samples, I credit the Houseshakers and Brent Roberts for the recordings. I'm affiliated with 2 bands: Houseshakers and Chernobyl Chicken Soup, both with profiles on bandmix. The Chernobyl band (Westerville practice) needs you if you play a decent guitar!

Influences

Power chest voice is my differentiator - think 4 Non Blondes, Melissa Etheridge, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Pat Benatar, even some Aretha Franklin. However, I'm versatile and can do Norah Jones, Sixpence None The Richer, Anna Nalick, Stevie Nicks - even some country and folk. I can sing guy stuff too (if it's not too low) such as Black Crowes, Steve Miller Band, Foo Fighters, Govt Mule, Tom Petty, The Refreshments, etc. My list includes 70s, 80s, 90s, and newer rock, pop, blues, country, etc. Can do some metal.
