ABOUT
My schedule has opened up. So I'm looking to join another band - professional, established, with high quality and well-paying gigs booked. Please no "just for fun", green start-ups, etc. Feel free to contact me for fill-in work too. I have an extensive repertoire and can seamlessly integrate into almost any situation.
I'm on social media but don't accept friend requests from unknowns. Send me a message please.
A classically-trained pianist, I grew up near Memphis. After two-plus decades in Nashville, I relocated to the mid-Atlantic area for a while, and returned to the south in 2020. Equally adept at classic rock, 80's pop and more, I enjoy playing with other high-caliber musicians for any audience that appreciates a tight, nuanced, authentic sound.
• Wiling and able for the right opportunity.
• Versatile keyboard player with a discerning ear. I provide essential and accurate parts (piano, Hammond B3 organ, Farfisa, Vox, Clavinet, synthesizer, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, DX-7, CP-80, horns, strings, more) to the songs, allowing for expanded repertoire and giving my projects a competitive advantage.
• Read & write music & charts, and play by ear - hearing the notes and feeling the groove.
• Professional ability, attitude, gear, and stage presence. No drug use and I don't drink.
• Bring a sense and purpose of business to my projects.
• Published a widely-read LinkedIn article relating general business terms to music performance business.
• Belmont University graduate before it got all Christiany again.
