ABOUT

We are a "horn driven" band w/rhythm section, vocals. We want to do covers of Chicago, BS&T, TOP, Stevie, Blues Bros, Steely Dan, EW&F, Mo-Town classics, Frank Zappa-(yes, Frank Zappa)-and lots, lots more..eventually originals. We want to tackle a wide variety of styles from Blues, R&B, Jazz, Jazz-Fusion, Funk, to Ska, Zydeco, whatever we can make sound great with our instrumentation.
As for myself, I have a degree in music from Mansfield University, PA. I have played in every type of musical group imaginable (a few unimaginable!). While still in college-I had the opportunity to audition and be accepted to perform with the Disney All-American College band. Our goal is to be a highly professional, gigging band (quality, well paying). For example, I wouldn't mind getting gigs back at Disney!, Conventions, higher class clubs (not interested in being a "bar band"-no offence-just that we've been there, done that.) If you are interested please contact me via email at world-band
