I'm an experienced keyboard/piano player looking for an experienced and potentially groovy band or other like-minded musicians that need one. I primarily like to play jazzy, funky, bluesy, R&B-y (the original one), souly stuff. That being said, I would be into playing folk, Americana (Canadiana?), rockabilly, and even pop if it were the right situation.
I have an exceptional ear and can pick up most progressions or melodies after hearing them once or twice. I played in bands in undergrad and then after I started working, but I've been focused on my career for about 10 years now. However, I can once again make time for practicing and gigging and would love the right opportunity to do so.
