Band to Join.ABOUT
Currently play bass & sing in the local Christian band 'CHOSEN and in church praise band. Also fill in with local groups in need of a hired gun. Have extensive years of experience in classic rock, country rock, southern rock, 50's, 60's, 70's and so on. Can pretty much play anything. Played primarily 3,4 and 5 piece groups in the styles of Cream, James Gang, Grand Funk, Deep Purple, Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd and others. Favorite bands are Boston and Deep Purple. Love those styles of rock as well as Celtic, Eclectic, Alternative and Art Rock Styles. Not into punk, trash, hip-hop, rap or other styles as such. Sing lead and backup vocals. Have a strong range with high strength. Can harmonize up or down depending on the key. Teach bass at a local music store and continue to perfect the craft. Don't drink or drug and prefer to play with others of the same. Keeping options open to the right thing. Want a full time gig so I can eventually get out of the 9-5 grind.
