Liam Melville + Musician in Smiths Falls, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am an experienced and passionate drummer and multi instrumentalist from the Ottawa area. I have a lot of experience in various styles of music and am looking for opportunities to create and support other artists, particularly as a drummer or bassist.

I have been away from the scene for some time now while working a day job. But it's time to get back out there. I've already begun by getting back out to some jams in the city. But it would be wonderful to find some creative and gigging opportunities.

I have experience touring and was fortunate to even be a part of a group that won a Maple Blues award back in 2014. During this time I was also attending music school and taking private lessons in Jazz drumming.

I have also studied privately with a well known Ottawa bassist. I took on this challenge during the pandemic after teaching myself through some online resources. It's been very enjoyable and I would love the opportunity to gain more experience playing with others on this instrument.
