Band to Join.

ABOUT

My range is that if a male tenor and I have a similar sound as Chrissie Hynde.

My voice is suited for songs by Joan Jett, Melissa Etheridge, the Pretenders, KT Tunstall, Foo Fighters. I like Classic Rock as well as 80s, and some country. I love being on stage & have excellent stage presence, and would be totally up for a shared lead position. I'm an experienced musician of 40 years.

I'm a hard worker, easy to get along with, dependable, and no diva.

I've performed in a variety of venues. As a flutist: Marriott's Great America, Walt Disney World, & churches (weddings).

Vox Gigs: Bottom Lounge (Chicago), Two Brothers Roadhouse (Aurora), Qbar (Darien), EvenFlow Bar (Geneva), Abstract Bar (Crest Hill), and at outdoor functions like Plainfield Cruise Nights. to name a few.
