ABOUT

Good day, I am new to the Red Deer area and looking for fellow musicians that are looking to play some basic rock and roll, hard blues,hard rock, metal, country, or country/rock and get to the point of playing shows.

I have been out of the regular gigging market for about a decade, just been working at home.

Might take a bit to take the rust out of my old bones, I am sure I have a few more great shows in me though!

Previous experience includes playing in a few cover bands in Northern Alberta. Young Country, Midnight Thunder, Meltdown, Stateside over a period from the age of 17 to the age of 37. I then spent close to three years in Edmonton doing music full time with a band called DeSousa Drive writing and playing a couple cross Canada tours and some recording at Powersound Studios.

I love 80's hair metal, hard rock, blues rock, Southern rock, and classic rock. I can play comfortably with a click. I have to set up my studio equipment in my new home and make space yet, thought I would put out the word anyways.
