SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I'm a seasoned tenor/alto/flute player interested in playing the music I love... funk, blues and soul.
I've been playing since the 70's and am a Humber music graduate. I can read, improvise and have sung lead and backup harmonies as well.
I would prefer hooking up with a existing band(with/without additional horns), gigs not a priority and don't wish to be paid if I enjoy the music; would also consider getting together with like-minded players and see where it goes.
I reside in the Pickering/Durham/Scarborough east area but will rehearse outside the area within reason once per week.
Get in touch if you're looking for or are considering adding a horn to your group or just want to play some funk, blues or soul.
