SEEKING
Vocalist, Vocalist - Tenor, Vocalist - Soprano, Vocalist - Alto.ABOUT
I have played pro and semi pro work for over 30 years in a wide range of bands from 50’s, 60’s, to classic rock, metal, through to soul, blues pop and jazz.
Having gone through the shred thing years ago I now play more with feel, and with the use of vibrato & phrasing in soloing (i.e. BB King, Kossoff, Trower etc.)
I am looking for either an existing band or to work with a good quality singer that I can build a band around.
I believe that stage presence and image are important, because we are being paid to entertain! Also I like to get things right musically with the right chords, light and shade etc.
I have backing vocals, good gear and transport, can practice any night of the week but I do want to go out and start earning money pretty quickly too, so just practicing for the sake of it is out I’m afraid.
Anything style that is musically pleasing I will play, including a lot of ‘recent’ material.
Although I do not have much recent recorded material I can send you mp3 files of my rendition of Toccata & Fugue [originally recorded by Sky & John Williams], and my take of the instrumental Walk Don’t Run recorded live at a social club on 4 track in the 80’s!
I have some musical ideas of my own and may also be interested in any song writing collaboration.
I play:
Electric Lead guitar [fender and Gibson]
Acoustic guitar
Bottleneck / slide guitar
