ABOUT

Lead vocalist / Bassist / Rhythm Guitar

I have played in dance bands, disco, country, rock and even in a metal band. I am not afraid of different music styles.
I work on my vocal exercises daily!

www.Indreams.ca
I am really hoping to find musicians or a band who get together once a week and improve. It has to be fun, but I am committed to working on getting the songs right!

The original songs recorded here were recorded into the phone on the nights they were written. Hence they are very raw.

I am in a unique position. I have had 40 years of gigging experience as a bass player, but an accident 13 years ago has forced me to become a lefty.
UPDATE: Recently a hand surgery has fixed my right hand. I am now playing both left-handed and right handed. Lol. I have also aggressively studied vocals to become a lead vocalist.
I know what it takes to work in music; I have become comfortable as a lefty and my skills are growing weekly.

Note that I am not always in Canada and am often in Mexico for up to 2 months of the year. This restricts my commitment to full-time music.

I am presently performing tributes as Roy Orbison and Neil Diamond.
