Lead vocalist with 10 years of experience. Lead vocalist for cover band in St. Louis (Idiosyncrasy) from 1996 through 2004. 400 shows performed with Idiosyncrasy and many extras with Idiocoustic. I am looking to restart my acoustic project only here in North Indianapolis (Carmel area). I am looking for a 4 piece acoustic setup with an acoustic lead guitarist, acoustic rhythm, and acoustic bass. I hope to find backup vocal ability for harmony as well. I have several interested musicians, but want to keep all options open for committed and talented members to join.

Name (Goo Goo Dolls) Cover Track number: 1 Year: 1996 Album: Cover Genre: Alternative
Recorded live at The Boathouse in St. Charles, Mo. on July 5th 1996 One of first shows and not a real great recording live, but it was good enough to use as a demo that launched us to 400 shows and almost 10 years of shows.

Shine (Collective Soul) Cover Track number: 1 Year: 1996 Album: Cover Genre: Alternative
Another demo song we used very early on. My voice had much more maturing to do, but for 26 and no training, we were learning.

Lightning Crashes (Live) Cover Track number: 1 Year: 1996 Album: Cover Genre: Alternative
One more from the Boathouse demo recording. I really think we should have mixed it better, but a mic in front taking the sound in in 1996 was all we had and sounded good enough for us.

This was a brief interview for a show we did at Trainwreck Saloon Downtown St. Louis. Thought I would add to the mix of great opportunities we had during the years.
