Keyboardist

I have 20 years of playing experience, playing rock with a bit of jazz, classical, funk, blues, and folk mixed in. I read music (notes and/or chord charts), improvise, and can write tasteful/tasty parts. I have pro gear and transportation, can sing lead and harmony vocals, and double on acoustic rhythm guitar.

I'm organized and I do my homework. I expect the same from the projects on which I work. I just need charts and/or reference CDs, and information about the date, time, location, and pay for the gig or session. I'll show up to the rehearsal/gig, knowing the tunes and ready to play.

My ideal situations are either subbing in a well-organized jobbing/cover band or studio/guest appearances with a fascinating and utterly unique original band with amazing players, or some reasonable combination thereof. For original bands, I'm especially interested in musically challenging and progressive projects, and/or projects that challenge me to play in styles in which I haven't done much work.
