ABOUT

Contact Info: lexiconca.inter.net; 905.510.9055.

Please Note: I see too many adds for good musicians that do not leave contact info. If you are interested in what follows, please respond directly by email (lexiconca.inter,net) or by calling directly (905.510.9055).

I have been playing keyboards (mainly piano and organ, some synthesizers) for over 40 years; mostly covering "hard/classic rock" bands of the 70s and the 80s. I have lots of stage experience playing in many places around the planet (Ontario, Quebec, US, Latin America, Middle East). For over 20 years I was a member of a successful working Deep Purple tribute band playing all over Ontario and Quebec; and for about 3 years I was a member of a Santana tribute band.

I am very much interested in 1) forming a solid classic hard rock/progressive rock act (first choice); or, 2) joining a solid hard classic rock/progressive rock act (second choice) covering either a tribute band or doing a wide selection of classic hard rock/progressive bands of the 70s and early 80s. I am not interested in doing blues or soft rock.

WHen it comes to "forming" a band from scratch, I am seeking a guitar player who has good chemistry with keys; a bass player, a drummer and a singer who can play bands listed under "Influences" below. My main interest would be to revive a Deep Purple tribute (but open to suggestions).

I am very committed, and looking to gig frequently. If interested and serious, please email lexiconca.inter.net - or call me directly at (905.510.9055). Please DO NOT try to contact me through bandmix as my internet access is questionable and my bandmix account is limited (free).

Would love to hear from someone who shares the same passion. When you email or call, please leave complete contact info (email, phone number, etc.). Thanks and Keep Rockin'

Cheers.
