ABOUT

I am a singer and I work fairs, theaters and concerts all over the western US. I play rhythm guitar. I would like to add a couple of young people who want to learn the ins and outs of the music business. I have contacts for arts council gigs which I would like to pursue and I need a couple of singers who also play. They must want to learn all they can. I have vast experience which I will be happy to pass on. This can be an opportunity for someone who loves to sing and play but doesn't know how to get started or how to deal with the business. I want people who are willing to learn, travel and rehearse. I checked "country" because they do not have my music listed. I perform Music of the Great American West. Cowboy music you might call it. Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Rex Allen, Marty Robbins and The Sons of the Pioneers. This music is cordy so you need to be a relatively decent player and sing harmony. It will be necessary for you to send pictures, bio, audio and video if you have it. Youth is important as there lots of miles out west. Looks are important too. And, especially attitude. There is money to be made in this business if you are not afraid of work. It asks how many gigs have I played? Answer, thousands.
