- just search on my name - Tony VanDemark
Lead singer for over 10 years. Currently writing original tunes for acoustic and full band arrangements.
Was previously in one original project and also as a Metallica-type cover band singer. Open to writing new stuff, doing covers, or a blend. Easy going, like a collaborative team environment. Not a drama self-focused person - willing to share the stage and the mic (i.e. I don't need to sing all the songs).
I consider myself a Tenor 2, with the ability to grovel higher notes very well if necessary - but true Tenor 1 notes have to be falsetto for me... as an example I can sing Prince and Bush just fine, but Offspring or Journey or Boston - not so much. I am creative and can spin a song to fit my voice so that bands can play the songs they want.
