I have played thousands of gigs including over 300 paid gigs in the past few years in very popular local bands. I have experience with big stages, large shows, and national acts openers. I've also played too many small bars and dives to mention. I can handle anything.
I am very experienced with In-Ear monitoring (IEM) and silent stage setups. I have my own In Ear Monitoring rig. I have top-level gear that looks and sounds great. I have excellent stage presence. Solid steady timekeeper.
Looking to play on a regular basis in an active gigging band. I have been gigging in a 75-mile radius of Tioga PA and would like to continue to do the same.
I am used to playing 4–5-hour gigs with set lists in excess of 50 -60 songs. I have played in many genres of bands, including classic rock, alternative, country and metal.
I pride myself in being a professional in everything I do. Reliable. No addictions. Always prepared and give 110% every show.
