Steve K Rocky + Musician in Port Douglas, QLD

ABOUT

Mature drummer with many years of professional experience ranging from local bars to casinos to concert halls. I was born in Lubbock Texas where I became a staff studio drummer and this led to me becoming a member of the original Joe Ely band, recording 3 MCA albums. I can heard on more than half of the tracks on 'The Best of Joe Ely' and did 10 years of national and international touring with that band.

I moved to Toowoomba QLD this year in October on a 457 visa from Dallas Texas where I held a full-time day job and was playing 10-15 gigs per month over the past 15 years, mostly traditional country, blues, and classic rock. Looking for a mature, versatile, fun group to perform with while I maintain my full-time day job in Toowoomba.
