The section above labeled: "Level of Commitment" is too vague....I am looking to get something going in Vegas since I'm now feeling the pull to stay here , but I am still open to any lucrative ,out-of-town options that may come my way...there, I feel better now that I have explained that...lol !

Pro Gear, ...Pro attitude, .. Hundreds of tunes in the repertoire (for Vox/Guitar respectively). No Baggage, Drama, or even any bad habits.
International Touring experience ...ie: Shakira Oral Fixation Tour (opener Middle Eastern Leg), Sweeney Todd , Nick Gilder's Main Guitarist /touring, Europe, Asia, etc, etc,......even Overseas USO work since 1998 ,..etc....not to mention a few Int'l Jazz fests.....
I have been the Musical Director in the last 4 Int'l Touring Bands including Dubai's Notorious 'Million Dollar Band' , which played exclusive gigs and venues for Sheikh's, Stars , Royalty, World Leaders, and the Uber-Rich....The Million Dollar Band also would have several guests sit in with us, like Robbie Williams' Band, Robert Plant's Band, etc,etc and were even requested to learn a couple of Michael Jackson songs for when he visited Dubai a couple of years back....same went for Sir Cliff Richard ,...whew !!!

--- All styles on both Guitar and Bass.( The USO had me playing both instruments per set ! talk about earning my money !! ) But I prefer to stick to what I know best : Drrrty Rock (funky ballsy rock ...w/sleazy tone)..yeah Baby !!!!
Recording experience/ TV & Radio jingles/Original music..and my voice : high vox range/ie. think Journey , Kansas or Loverboy....

and , um....gigs ?...again, it's too VAGUE...to be more specific, in 2007 alone, I've easily done over 100 engagements so far.....
The gigs in the past years aren't included (but could be)...and that would put the total 'gig-o-meter' in the quadruple digits,& I don't want to count 'em....

To Summarize : I don't fu*k around. Gigs wait for no man, and I run on New York time. Don't waste my time, and I will most certainly not waste yours ! Let's DO IT !!!!
