SEEKING

ABOUT

I've been playing drums for more than 40 years and can play a lot of different styles, from blues to rock to pop to funk and jazz. I have a demanding day job, so I can't join a band that works a lot. but I'd love join a group of good players who only works select gigs or sub for someone occasionally. Was in a band signed to Motown in college but became a journalist after that deal ended. Here in Florida, I've played with several singer/songwriters, including on Fran Snyder's album Stir; I've uploaded 2 tracks here, along with the single I recorded for The Voyage Band on Motown.
