SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Upright bass.ABOUT
I have been playing drums, live, in bands since the 80's, touring since I was 15 years old. I performed in various southern rock, country, and metal bands throughout the southeast U.S. I performed throughout the state of California, including shows in Vegas, Nevada.
In 1991, I moved to southern California, with a short career in the military, and new musical opportunities. In 1999, I moved to Los Angeles to attend a six month percussion program at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA.
In Los Angeles, I performed eight years with alternative rock group, Strange World Carnival, and spent twelve years as a drummer for legendary LA shock-rockers, "Rebel Rebel." I toured for two years with Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band "Lynette Skynyrd" all over California. In late 2020, I relocated to the Nashville, Tennessee area for new musical opportunities.
I'm an easy-going guy, who gets along great with people, and I'm drama free!! I'm a hard-hitting, dynamic, hard rock drummer with showmanship. I play for the song to make the groove feel good, and the song sound as best as possible!!! I'm looking for a band that's just as committed as I am, willing to work hard, and take the music as far as possible, while never losing sight of keeping it FUN!!
