Can sing jazz, folk, rock, pop, celtic, very versatile. I play acoustic guitar, and was classically trained as a flautist and vocalist. I like to sing for fun. No ego. I have a very big range and good stage presence. Formerly owned a restaurant/ jazz lounge where I sang almost every night.
I use smule a lot because i am lazy and it’s fun and easy for a vocalist.
Here are some i had fun with

I have TONS more links to videos/samples !! Just ask!!!
NOTE: special interest given to Grateful Dead cover bands in the Chicago area looking for an on-key Donna (lol sorry but) or GD-familiar singer who can jump in on any song in any way needed. I grew up with their music and followed them for ten years between 85-95 and love their music and am intimately familiar with it. NFA!
