ABOUT

My last project, Harmonic Maneuvers, was a Rock/Fusion/Funk idea playing mainly adult oriented original music with some unconventional covers tossed in for good measure. The collaboration lived for about 10 years and was based out of the Suburban Milwaukee area. HM had about 30+ original songs in their catalog. The musicians have each played semi-pro for at least 20 years or longer. They play small clubs and outdoor "Jazz/Music in the Park” style gigs. Pro attitudes, approach and gear were benchmarks of the Harmonic Maneuvers philosophy. Creative and approachable writing along with interesting instrument voicing and addictive rhythms assured the audience was compelled to take a closer listen and really enjoy the Harmonic Maneuvers experience.

I am excited to start a new project and am currently looking for a keyboard player, bass player, drummer and FEMALE lead vocalist for the new band. The ideal musicians would have varied interests to contribute to an eclectic mix of styles while keeping things approachable by a contemporary adult 30's-50's something audience. A little complex but still funky and fun. The final cast of characters will determine the projects sound and feel. I have pro gear and a professional attitude but the working environment will be fun and casual. Day gig and family and fun come first but... weekly rehearsals and some independent work will help move things along, 6-10 gigs a year for starters.

The tunes above are sample recordings material from my last project all recorded at different times using different methods. None of them are complete or final recordings.
