SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Keyboard.

ABOUT

We are a Rhythm Section both drums and bass.
Norrie (Norm) Wayne: Drums
Rick Macen: Bass

We are currently seeking to play with any existing gigging or soon to be gigging band. Musical genre not important. We have a healthy mature attitude and are willing to be part of a strong committed team.

We were given up to three musical genres to choose from but I would like to add, Latin/R&B/Lounge/Reggae/Blues/Classic Rock/Electronic/Other to our list. If the energy is right, count us in.

We have been workng on a project band called String Theory. I have both the Roland TD 9 electronic drums and my Yamaha acoustic drums and Rick has gear and we're ready to play.
