Ocean Cnty/ Band-Mix Newbie (Not all events captured-few pics)
Seek group depending on project/gig commitment. Accustomed to fairs/ benefit concerts/ centers/ halls/ parks & celebrational home gatherings (on stage or as a musical minstrel amongst all crowds/ youth/ mentally/ physically challenged (equipped with theatrical wears) ... also college play/ Yasgaer Farms/ college radio, etc.
Seasonal/ alternating groups until i find a committed project; a) mthly percussion/ keys improv, b) wkly voice/ percussion on originals/ popular hits (acoustic & amp'd w/ 6-7 members=seasoned/ experiential), c) exploring duo concept for special groups
Musicians say my percussion rhythm is rare to find. I play "rolling finger” keys (my lingo) - best at improv - reads music.
Play different genres/ venues/ instruments. A bit of a creative perfectionist for group to excel/ mindfully respectful w/ everything. Wears different hats (blends - working w/ different walks of life).
Current urge to explore voice more (improv songs/ stories). Prefer set warm up combo's (if needed) from: 1) hand drums w/harmonica or 2) keyboard w/harmonica or 3) rhythm guitar w/harmonica or 4) singing w/any percussion or rhythm guitar (& not in any particular order) to compliment (or lead if helpful). Availability varies per quarter/ project.
