Seven + Musician in Brisbane, QLD

SEEKING

ABOUT

I have been a full time professional musician for many years making all my income by performing live every week in both cover and original acts. I'm interested in joining an original band or being a backing guitarist for original singer/songwriters. Also keen for paid fill in gigs with cover bands/duos or joining a band to do an overseas residency. Contact me if you are in need of a very experienced guitarist.

Experience performing in any sized lineup on either electric or acoustic guitar with a love of many varied music styles. I adapt my playing style to the situation, from being the only instrumentalist laying down the groove for a singer, right through to slotting in and playing intricate parts on electric guitar in a larger band.

Aside from performing I have extensive experience as a band leader and also managing a cover band dealing with everything from booking in shows directly with clients and entertainment agents, band finances and accounting, working with production crews, and designing band promo material such as websites, videos etc. This experience brings a professionalism to my attitude and performance, attention to detail, as well as a respect towards other band leaders when working with them being I have been in their shoes before.

Some achievements over the years I feel fortunate enough to have had are:
*Performing in support acts for high profile Australian artists such as Daryl Braithwaite, Jon Stevens, The Choirboys, and Gina Jeffreys.
*Performing at Suncorp Stadium opening up an NRL match.
*Guest entertainer on a P&O boat cruise to Vanuatu for a week.
*Traveling overseas to perform on four occasions, all expenses paid.
*Performing with many of Brisbane, Gold & Sunshine Coast's finest musicians.
*Performing at most popular live music venues in South East QLD.
*Band management at high profile corporate events for companies such as Royal Flying Doctors, Mars Chocolate, Flight Centre, Canon, David Jones, Isuzu, Commonwealth Bank, LJ Hooker, Sensis, Specsavers, Repco, ANZ, Chubb Security.
*Tours as far north as Port Douglas and as far south as Tamworth in various bands.
*Performing in numerous cover acts and different sized lineups.
*Backing guitarist for various singer/songwriter original artists.
