SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Played in a few nightclub bands in my glory days. Mostly top 40 covers in the seventies/eighties which are classics now. Getting my chops back. Sax is my best instrument, but I'm a decent and versatile guitar player. I sing harmony and lead (tenor.) I have a solo guitar and voice repertoire of 80 or so songs. Sax is hard to do solo without backing tracks, but I am going to start soon, if I can't find a group to play with. I practice sax, guitar, and singing most days. I've been playing a few open mic nights lately. I would love to find a local blues, R&B, or jazz band.
