SEEKING
Bass Guitar.ABOUT
I am a seasoned musician that sings, plays, keys, acoustic guitar, brass instruments and a little sax. I am a team player, spoiled by being in long term bands. However, I have been gigging in bands since high school and have had a local music career that I am very proud of. I was a member of Lehigh Valley bands "Jynx", "Fair Game (Karizma)", "Metro" and more recently "The Dr. Dick Show" out of Easton/P'burg and a couple others. I have paid my dues and gained a lot of experience working with very talented, knowledgeable musicians.
I have a musical theatre background so I don't just sing, I perform. I am committed (or should be committed) and really enjoy seeing people dance, have fun, sing along and just enjoy what they are hearing.

Influences
I love to play Classic Rock, but I have a very diverse musical background. I began reading music at age 6 and playing brass instruments in a local Drum & Bugle Corps. My first love is the French Horn and all other instruments I am self taught on.
Music with HORNS gives me goosebumps!!! Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power & KC and the Sunshine Band are my preferred driving music. Along with Styx, Kansas, Journey, Billy Joel and Queen.
When I want to chill my go to artists are James Taylor, Carole King, John Denver & The Carpenters.
I also enjoy listening to Pink, Adele and so many others.
As you can see my tastes vary.
In my career, I have covered Melissa Etheridge, Alana Myles, Aretha, Shania Twain, Heart, and pretty much all the great female singers of the 80's & 90's.
