SEEKING
Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Saxophone, Background Singer.ABOUT
I'm a multi instrumentalist and vocalist currently serving as lead vocalist and multi instrumentalist in a Genesis tribute group based in London ON (a once a month or every other month commitment). I play piano/keyboards, classical guitarist, rock guitar (lead/rhythm) and have a strong singing voice. An old hand injury has me more focused on keyboard and vocals these days. I have extensive experience performing live a number of popular Windsor area bands. I am retired from my a long teaching career where I taught vocal and instrumental music for many years. I have performed in community theatre. I have an excellent ear and am a very creative force in terms of arrangements, harmonies and the like.

My nylon classical choice is a Cordoba Mini II acoustic-electric. I have all kinds of PA gear, mics, mixers and recording equipment.
