Vocalist.

ABOUT

50yo bloke with (some say) too many guitars and more gear than the Rolling Stones. Sadly, I'm leaving an OUTSTANDING 11-piece show band based out of Canberra when I relocate to Albany WA in May 2024. Once established and settled in, I'll be looking for 2x Vocalists (1M/1F or 2F) to form a sequenced trio, playing a very broad and diverse setlist, from the 60's thru to current - a punter-pleasing outfit that plays a little bit of everything for any situation.

PM me if you want any further deets or if you want to arrange a catch up for chat (I'll be in Albany at the beginning of May 24)
