Band to Join.

ABOUT

Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist based in Shepshed, Leicestershire currently playing and singing in cover bands, tribute bands and also working solo.

First and foremost a singer, and originally predominantly a guitarist, however latterly I've taken to playing bass and singing as I enjoy those two together more. I still perform with my guitar in solo settings, but where possibly I prefer to leave the guitars to a proper shredder.
I would consider myself a strong lead vocalist, but I also enjoy playing bass and singing backing vocals, so long as they are interesting enough (not just "oohs" and "ahhs"). I would also appreciate the opportunity to sing some lead if I am in a band with another lead singer, but only if it's appropriate.

I also write original music and will be looking to take that on the road with a band in the near future. Examples of my work are available upon request.

I'm mainly looking for paid cover gigs, but I could be open to joining an established originals band if it looks right for me.

Extensive covers repertoire, including songs by:

Deep Purple
Whitesnake
Bon Jovi
Bryan Adams
Toto
Extreme
Peter Gabriel
Muse
The Darkness
+ many, many more.

I have all my own gear and transport. I can operate on a silent stage very easily as I own IEMs and would rather operate without amp and cab, though if necessary I do have access to backline. I also have many leads, cables etc. and my own microphones, both wired and a radio mic.
