ABOUT

Experienced and capable vocalist/guitarist/keyboard & keytar player looking for a working group.

Not into jam/basement bands, want to play for audiences!

Ideally...I'm looking for a PTBO area group to join and play lead or rhythm guitar and keys, and share lead and harmony vocals.
(Please note that if you are primarily interested in a keyboard player, that it is my 2nd instrument...you're not getting Billy Joel or Keith Emerson!!!!)

Some background: I’ve played professionally and semi-professionally since my teens, toured with Gaslight in the 1970’s, and since then have worked with a number of groups and recording projects. JUNO award judge for 2023 (Adult Contemporary Album of the Year). Recording credits include writing, producing and playing guitar & keyboards on Trollie’s 1986 album, “Cruisin’”, and Major Hoople's last single "Sunnyside" (2012). For much of the last decade I was a member of Major Hoople's Boarding House.
To contact: I'm on FB....Brian Tozer...or email indy47ca "at" y_h_o "dot" ca .
