Bio
    Putting together one of Treasure Valley's most polished cover bands with a focus on classic rock and a variety of blues, blues rock, new country, pop and funk. A great assortment of music from soft dance to hard rock. Our intent is to keep the audience on the floor dancing. We also want to bring a number of originals into the mix, just to keep it interesting. We are looking for professional players who have experience performing in a working band.

    My day job is retirement. I pretty much do as I please with my time, depending. Having spent years as a business professional I have very good communication, marketing and business skills. I am very committed to my family. It important that you have good transportation and decent hardware. I stopped dyeing my hair about 3 years ago so I am now a white head. Audio samples of my last band are at --

    I am big time into playing the covers note-per-note. I am very interested in doing originals as well. Unfortunately I don't sing, but I understand the importance of having good singers with harmonies. I don't want to be just a cover band. I'd like to incorporate 2 or 3 originals into each set. If your only focused on originals it makes finding an audience a tough deal. I am a crusty old dog at 54 who still loves to play rock-n-roll.

Looking For
  • People who understand that doing this takes a lot of dedication because being a member in a working band is as much work as any job I have ever done. We have two guitarist, bass and two lead singers, but we are still looking for our drummer. We need a percussionist, not a beater. We'd also like to add a keyboardist who plays by ear.
