s73ve88 + Musician in Ironia, NJ

ABOUT

I enjoy playing for people. Pro attitude, equipment, and technique. Although I can play by the numbers when needed, I am at my best when finding my own way around the room, the band, and the audience.

I identify as a piano player, and also play organ (esp. B3), Clavinet, and Rhodes. I can sing vocal harmonies well and in tune. I comp well, and solo well. I like pads, textures, and grooves.

Have a day job, so not looking for too heavy a schedule. Do enjoy a weeknight rehearsal, some weekend gigs, and taking occasion minivacations to do larger events and festivals.

Bands I have played with or subbed with in the last few years:
- By George! (Harrison)
- Cosmic Jerry (Skel)
- Dead Dog's Eye (Beatles, The Band)
- Diamond Eye Jack (Dead)
- Mountain Jam Band (Allmans)
- Peach Project (Allmans)
- This Old Engine (Dead)
- Workingman's Jed (Dead)

Notable projects recently:
- Concert for Bangladesh (complete)
- The Last Waltz (complete)
- Dark Side of teh Rainbow
