Well, hey everyone! The holidays have come and gone, and my musical world keeps adding projects. Here’s an update on what’s coming my way in the near future:
– Time Peace – I took over bass duties with this band in April of 2009. We play a variety of classic rock and pop from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a few other things sprinkled in.
– The Grape Smugglers – Slowly gaining some momentum, this ensemble shows a great deal of promise. Comprised of 2 guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, and a horn section, the band is covering a fascinating spectrum of classic soul and R&B tunes, as well as some early rock gems, and some of the standout pop tunes of the 70s. Our first “official” gig was one set at a fall benefit in Waterville, but we had some great feedback from listeners.
– Hearts Afire – This is the Epworth United Methodist Praise Band. I play with this group when my schedule permits. We cover many of the popular contemporary pop/rock praise songs, as well as a few classics.
– Fill-in & Sub Gigs – I played a few fill-in gigs with The Homewreckers in 2009, and hope to do more with this band in the future. I’ve also started playing some fill-in gigs with Mt Fuji & the Eruptions, a good-time party band that covers all the bar favorites.
– Musicals – With spring just around the corner, the musical season is about get wound up. I currently have shows booked at Bedford High School, Whiteford High School, and Ottawa Hills High School (pending).
It’s been a challenge keeping up with everything, learning lots of new tunes in the last 6 months (over 100), and practicing. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Be sure to check out my gig schedule for details on dates, times and places.
