Greetings
Would you like a Rick Wakeman clone?
Well, I can't give you him because he is way too good, but I can give you a keyboard sound that will add something special to your existing band.
I'm a gigging musician who retired over a decade ago but I still have that itch and want to scratch it. I'm not a pianist - I am a keyboardist, so if you don't understand the difference then maybe I'm not the right guy for you. But if you get my drift (think multiple boards, wall of sound, authenticity) then I might be what you are looking for. More Vince Clarke than Rick Wakeman.
My interests are electronic music, new wave, new romantic, rock, britpop, prog rock, alternative rock and dance.I'm sure there are others but these are the ones that spring to mind.
I own 13 synths (I use six 'live'), drum machines, and my own transport, and I'm about as dedicated and committed as it gets if I can find the right kind of home. I can also record and sequence program. And what's more, I'm not really that bothered about getting paid - I just want to play for the love of it. Nor am I remotely interested in drawing much attention to myself - my enjoyment is from making a band sound better. So no ego or prima donna here. Maybe it's because I have a face for radio?!?!
I've had two false starts at this recently, and I was messed about in both instances. But as they say, third time lucky. If you and your band members are all on the same page and want someone in the background to enhance your sound, I could be what you are looking for.
Get in touch if this might interest you.
I will stress that if you are not passionate and insanely committed to what you do, I will not be a good fit.
Also... you're gonna need a bigger stage.
regards
John
