HeyLayback + Musician in Longmont, CO

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am looking for a lead vocalist and multi-instrumental male partner for a music duo, someone who can play at least drums and guitar--bass, keyboards or other instruments a plus. I am looking to form a male/female duo that can switch instruments and lead vocals and do harmonies. My vision is a professional duo that is very versatile in musical styles, from acoustic to electric, covers and originals, able to play everything from rocking bar shows and parties/fests to downtempo dinner shows and cocktail hours. It would be a plus to have someone to collaborate with on songwriting and recording! I was in such a duo in the Chicago area, but now I’ve moved to Longmont.

I have been playing drums and percussion since high school and majored in percussion for a year at NIU. I have experience mostly with drum set but also with world percussion. My drum set and percussion experience includes alternative rock, metal, latin, blues and jazz, country, pop, folk, bluegrass, funk and more.

I also play rhythm and fingerstyle guitar, piano/keyboard, ukulele, harmonica and can play a little backup on cello.

I have an alto vocal range and can sing either backup or lead vocal in several styles including rock, lounge jazz, country and folk.
