SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm interested in playing a few gigs monthly at the many retirement communities in the area. I've recently retired and have re-located to Florida so I have plenty of time to gig and practice.

I have classical piano and music theory training.
In PA I gigged with a classic rock band for over 35 years.

Also did a duo gig with a lead vocalist, playing along with sequenced MIDI tracks and recorded harmony vocal tracks. I spent a lot of time doing MIDI sequencing and audio recording for the duo.

I’m looking to form a duo with someone that can sing lead vocal. I have tracks already sequenced for many tunes and start up time for gigging would be fairly quick. I'm continuing to add more or more songs to my collection. I can also play keyboard bass and piano for many songs that don’t require sequencing.

I have extensive experience and keyboard abilities and would love the opportunity to play with some good musicians.
