SEEKING
Drums.ABOUT
I'm a San Diego native with over 35 years of experience playing guitar. I've played in many great bands, covering many genres, including Pleasure Circus, House Blend, Tribal Roots, Red Llama Dog, Vibe Tribe and The Full Monty Band.
Currently, I'm playing in two bands, Soundvault, a well established 5-piece variety/classic rock/dance band that has been together for nearly 12 years and StreetKred, a newer 6-piece funk/soul/pop band that has been working together for about a year and a half. I'm always interested in meeting and collaborating with other musicians for current working situations or future networking opportunities.
*StreetKred is currently looking for a new drummer. We're looking for someone reliable with a great feel, great attitude, gigging experience and eager to play, with no major egos, addictions or hangups. (wheels and a kit would be nice, too) StreetKred features two lead vocalists, a female vocalist that can wail like Aretha and Chaka and a male vocalist that can do Bruno Mars to Prince, both great entertainers. We have a great keyboardist who can layer the Rhodes, Organ, Synth and Horns with precision, an amazing bass player who rips and is the life of the party, and myself, on guitar. We currently gig about once or twice a month in the San Diego area at local clubs and private events. Please contact me here or at mrmerrington with any questions or to audition, we're actively making appointments now and typically rehearse on weeknights in the Mira Mesa area.
