Mark Schmitz + Musician in Gilford, NH

ABOUT

I recently moved to Gilford New Hampshire (from Chicago suburbs). I was in a large R&B & Classic Rock band for 10 years (The Plant Band). I've been playing drums for over 30 years. I enjoy playing all types / genres of music. I'm also a pretty good tenor vocalist, love singing background harmonies, etc. (harmonies are a must).

I like to cover popular high energy music. Big sound, harmonies.
