Band to Join, Keyboard, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
I have played drums and sang both lead and backup vocals for 35-40 yrs. I have also fronted bands, both blues and classic rock.
Most of my experience has been in MD, DE, NC and SC. However, moving to kingsport in the mid 90's forced me to spend most of my time running a business and caring for an elderly mother. This sidelined me for a decade. My experience in this area ha been limited to a few start up bands which took my time but bore little lasting fruit. But that is the music business isn't it?

Whoa Woe Woman
Whoa Woe Woman Year: 2011 Genre: Classic Rock
Dean Denver / Guitar/Vocals Chris Cordell / Bass Guitar John Venable / Drums/Backing Vocals The song was written and recorded in 2 practice sessions. It was entered into a Battle of the Bands Contest quite hurriedly. We had only practiced together as a group for 3 practices prior to performing this song. And we only had about 1 1/2 weeks to get a song together for the BOB. The recording was done via laptop computer without any refinements. This is the straight mix.
