SEEKING

ABOUT

I play 25-30 gigs a year with The RadioSonics (TheRadioSonics.com. I manage the site and receive messages via contact page). Most of our gigs are on Saturday nights, so I'm available to gig/sub on any other night during the week. I am recently retired, so I have flexibility for day rehearsals if required. I already do the classic rock thing, so I'm most interested in country, Canadiana, supporting indie acts, and other opportunities that are "different"..

Previously, I was in very busy tribute acts for Blue Rodeo, Keith Urban, and Toby Keith.

Lots of gig contacts and experience in getting things done. Easy-going, but not a lot of patience for those who say they plan to gig but think those opportunities are just going to fall into their lap with no effort. It's a lot of work, but fun when it does come together.
