AndyLBreyer + Musician in Batavia, IL

SEEKING

ABOUT

Left-handed guitarist, equally comfortable in 1 or 2 guitar bands.

If you don't have a premiere account, please contact me at: andybreyer at sbcglobal dot net.

Right now I've joined forces as a guitarist for heavymetalhornsrock dotcom. They are still searching for a permanent female lead vocalist as well as a female backing vocalist so please get a hold of me if you are interested. We plan on being gig ready by September 2024. You can look at their site to get an idea what the project is all about. Most of the players will be different than the members listed on the site. Rehearsals will likely occur as needed on Mondays from 6-9 in Batavia.

I am flexible and open to ideas... hopefully ones that would draw a huge audience. It was suggested I bring back my Poison Tribute if I can find a new Bret Michaels.

I've often considered starting an Alice Cooper tribute if I could find the right front man. Ideas that have crossed my mind recently include: a band that plays only songs by Canadian bands, playing nothing but 70s glam, a band with only left-handed members, or even doing the one hit wonders. Back in the day I used to be in several bands at a time but at this point in my life, 1 would be great. I'm loyal, and a team player.
Bands I played in for a long time include:
Posin'
Dollhouse
Scarlett Fever
Members Only
Impulse

I have also played in tributes to Pat Benatar, Def Leppard, Thin Lizzy and been in projects such as: Twisted Johnson, Insomnia and Mark Allan, and filled in for Teeze & Mega Pearl (aka Black Pearl). I'm no stranger Indiana either. Got my start there in a band called Miss Conception, and was later tapped to join Epoch (aka No Limits) where the rest of the members were all over 20 years older than me.

I love music of all types; Beatles to Yngwie is my preferred range, but anything that requires some guitar is fine with me. I was even part of a lounge act back in the day, and being in a Poison tribute got me seeing many parts of the country and even some international gigs. If you need more samples of my work you can probably google me. I currently don't sing much, but am always trying to improve on that and have sang lead on a few songs live.

EQUIPMENT

Line 6 Firehawk 1500, Line 6 Firehawk pedal, Peavey Triple X Half Stac, Shure wireless, tons of guitars including: Jackson, Jackson V, Douglas V, Carvin, B.C. Rich Warlock, ESP, Dean acoustic.

I also have a 900 square foot rehearsal space at my home, and recently acquired some Kustom KSC10M monitors, an ION Total PA Extreme (at least loud enough for karaoke, possibly more) a Carvin 450 power amp for the monitors, a Crown CD 1000 power amp for the mains, and a Mackie ProFX16 mixing board. I don't know much about how to use them, but hope they come in handy for my next project.
