SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

Hi, my name is Chris and I'm a keyboard player.
I've been a part of the Washington DC/Baltimore music scene for more than 20 years now. I've opened for many national acts including Loverboy, Firehouse, Warrant, Michael McDonald, Nils Lofgren, and others.
My Past Bands and Projects include:

Mis-Fit
Intuition
Rick Jefferys
Jack Diamond (Mix 107.3) Jim Steed Band
Surreal
DoubleCrossed
Alive-n-kickin

Here's what I'm looking to do:

I'm Available for Fill-ins (1-2 gigs per month).
If your keyboard player can't cover a date, send me your full setlist for the show. I will learn your material, program my equipment with all neccesary sounds to perform with you, and show up to your gig, ready to perform with your band. This is a win-win situation for us. You avoid cancelling a date for your band, and I get to do something I enjoy...performing music in front of a live audience. Rates are negotiable depending on the distance to the show, amount of material, etc. I will tell you that I'm already well versed in a great deal of 70's and 80's classic rock, particularly Journey, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, etc. But I'm open to other styles, artists, etc.
I'm prompt, professional and prepared at a show. I do not drink at performances or rehearsals, and I show up ready to go. If this sounds like a service that could benefit your band, feel free to send me an e-mail
