SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Upright bass.ABOUT
Retired person, settled in the Ocean City, MD area - looking for gigs to play in the Delmarva area. I love playing: Blues, R/B, Rock: 60's, 70's, some 80's/ 90's, and Smooth Jazz. I’ve backed up vocalists and played in bands and smaller ensembles. Looking to hook-up with mature musicians who are serious about playing in live settings.
I've played your typical late-night R&R gigs in bands. But, I also enjoy the slower-paced 'matinee' (i.e., happy-hour) gigs in duos/ trios.
I’m open to working a project with accomplished M/F vocalists. And I can jump into an opportunity requiring a guitarist who blends elements of blues, fusion and some rock into a Jazzy/ Bluesy type setting. I can handle harmony parts in songs. I’m currently looking for Keys, Drums and a front person to build a ‘60s-type party band (i.e., pop meets rock!).
I have my own equipment and my own transportation. Thanks.
