Well, hey everyone! The holidays have come and gone, and my musical world keeps adding projects. Here\u2019s an update on what\u2019s coming my way in the near future:<\/p>\n
– Time Peace\u00a0– 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.<\/p>\n
– The Grape Smugglers\u00a0– 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 \u201cofficial\u201d gig was one set at a fall benefit in Waterville, but we had some great feedback from listeners.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0Hearts Afire<\/a> – This is the Epworth United Methodist Praise Band.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n – Fill-in & Sub Gigs\u00a0– I played a few fill-in gigs with The Homewreckers in 2009, and hope to do more with this band in the future.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also started playing some fill-in gigs with\u00a0Mt Fuji & the Eruptions<\/a>, a good-time party band that covers all the bar favorites.<\/p>\n – Musicals\u00a0– 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).<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a challenge keeping up with everything, learning lots of new tunes in the last 6 months (over 100), and practicing. But I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n
