SEEKING
Vocalist, Saxophone, Keyboard.ABOUT
I am a "vintage" drummer interested in playing music for fun, with like minded folks. I have organized many iterations of my jam band but the latest version we call “Not Done Yet” Decades ago I played in a busy cover band when classic rock was just our current music. My original intent was to form a group playing music from the 60s & 70s. However the group evolved and now has members ranging in age from 45 and up. And the music evolved as well because now we play songs from the 70s through to almost current songs. We have three vocalists including a female singer.
I would like to strengthen the vocals and focus on harmonies. So I would love to add a keyboards player/vocalist and maybe even a sax. My profile indicates the type of music we like to play. By the way...years of playing does not mean continuous. Played a lot in the early years, playing a little now for fun by putting together jam bands. However the "Not Done Yet" band played its first gig at the Marion Hotel for the 2023 Christmas Cheer Board annual fundraiser, along with fifteen other bands. Fun time! So we are open to gigs when the opportunity arises.
