The most recent was The Tupelo Blues Band which played around eastern NC from 2002-2005. I enjoy writing music and recording in my home studio. I look forward to collaborating with some taleted musicians.

How I Work:

I think this site is really cool. I am not up here trying to get rich. I just want to find some good musicians to bounce some ideas around with. In addition to the keyboard, I also play a little bit of drums but I'm not super. I have been playing the bass on the keys but I would much prefer a real bass player. I pretty much just lay drum and bass tracks when there is nobody else to do it. I am really looking for some good bass players, drummers, and lead guitarists as well as some lead vocals to share ideas with. I'm also available to lay keyboard tracks for anyone who is interested. I do some vocal harmony work but I'm not a lead vocalist.

Experience:

Played keyboard for 25 years. Played keyboard in The Tupelo Blues Band from 2002-2005. I've been writing and recording music since the early 90's. Many years of production and recording experience. Pretty good at improvisation and blues/funk grooves.

Equipment:

Keyboards: Alesis QS 7.1, Ensoniq ZR-76, EMU B-3 Organ Module, Korg Poly61 Analog Synth, Recorders: Korg D1200 and Korg D12 chained, Sony CD Recorder, Other: Theremin, Alesis DM5 EDrums

Really enjoying the funk you have going on. reminds me of the fatback band a bit (a good thing in my opinion!). you should try working with some elctronic artists. everyone is clammering for the funky bass effect in their club anthems nowadays. anyhoo, keep up the good work
