ABOUT

Solid, groove oriented drummer with 20+ years of recording and gigging experience in Australia & USA.

Currently playing in a cover trio - we are flexible and versatile players hoping to find another like-minded individual to join us. Goal is to gig to a wide variety of audiences without exhaustive rehearsal.

Our biggest need is a strong vocalist who can cover a wide variety of pop and rock styles. Ability to play keys or additional guitar would be a bonus.

We have day jobs and families but are serious musicians who want to sound good, make people dance and have a really good time!

I live in NW suburbs near airport; our rehearsals are in Sunbury.
