SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Drums, Fiddle.

ABOUT

1) I can join another great project (recording; weekend tours), since my current Celtic-rock band only plays about once a month.
2) I am available for sub work - to fill in keys. I have played big stage festivals since 1990: Rock, alt rock, Celtic, Americana, world, New Age.
3) Looking to collaborate on originals re: social justice.

Favorite style(s): Americana w/ huge dynamic range, from sensitive unplugged to massive soundscapes, mesmerizing world music loops and jams, ripping fiddle leads, funky B3 organ & rhodes, hypnotic piano drones, complex keyboard pads that evoke visions of grandeur and shake the stage under your feet.

I currently play with Eireann's Call, a celtic band playing Highland festivals on the East Coast. I would like to be more involved in pro projects, particularly that play festivals. For 14 years, I have played solo piano regularly at the Biltmore Estates. I have played classic rock/oldies for many years and can fill in, but I don't want to join a classic rock band.
