Mark Andree-Evarts + Musician in Caulfield North, VIC

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Mark; drummer, singer, percussionist, pianist, and human enthusiast. I have roughly 25 years experience as a drummer & singer (10 years full time).

My drumming Instagram profile is: mark_on_drums

I'm mainly looking for funk, R&B, jazz funk, acid jazz & blues drumming gigs.

I'm also looking to freelance in other genres (pop, country, folk, rock, prog rock, etc) & I'm experienced in sitting in on gigs with minimal or no rehearsal. Do you have an emergency? I'm your man.

Also looking to create recording projects with other musos & singers. I have a drum studio, so can record drum tracks.

And finally, do you want / need drums on your originals demo tracks? Hit me up. I'll record drums for free.
