Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Lead Guitar.ABOUT
Semi-pro drummer with over 25 years experience including formal education and 10 years of live, studio, and touring experience. Lives in Pleasanton with wife and son, works full-time but available on the weekends and possible weeknights. I’ve taken a few years off after having a son and am not from this area, so I’m looking for other experienced musicians interested in exploring original music or interpreting favorites. I’d love to put together an organ trio/quartet a la Soulive, MMW, Bad Plus, etc, or a Brazilian group that does traditional bossa/samba and modern fusion. Open to other styles and influences as well!
