MY INFO:
I am a singer, harmonica player who also strums a little guitar. I play in the band call Salamander. Click here to see our website.
I have been singing in the bars and clubs of Kansas City for over 19 years, playing harmonica for over 10 years, and strumming guitart for a few years.
HERE I AM AT THE VOODOO LOUNGE SITTING IN WITH LEADEDTHANKS A MILLION GUYS!!
All Thursday Night shows at Pete's Inn are canceled.
The management and "regulars" at Pete's are not going to allow the normal flow of the TNT, so I will begin the search for a new venue and begin rehabbing my PA system. (it needs some attention)
This whole situation upsets me a great deal. I have argued with the midtown hipsters for years now that the Northland is NOT just a land full of sports bars, frat boys and uncultured rednecks who only respond to Mustang Sally or Brown Eyed Girl. The management and patrons of Pete's Inn have proven me wrong and left a horrible taste in my mouth.
It's a terrible waste. That venue, with it's huge stage, multi-level seating and grand size was born for live music, but the powers that be seem content to just be another hole-in-a-strip-mall catering to the NASCAR junkies and plain old drunks who want nothing more from life but a dank, smoke-stinking place to hide from the light of day.
We actually had some nice turn-outs up there, so I hold out hope that Pete's isn't the indicator for this town.
Thanks to all the bands who played and the people who came out to support them.
I'll keep everyone up to date.
ATTN: KC AREA BANDS NEEDING SOUND FOR SHOWS!!!!
I am looking to pick up some jobs running sound. I have a decent PA that is good for inside or outside shows.
I am a seasoned veteran musician with years of experience running sound for my own band, and a couple of years running sound for various other band including my weekly Thursday Night shows (Thursday Night Throwdown @ Pete's Inn).
I have have received numerous compliments on my mixing abilities and monitor mixes. Many bands have expressed joy in being able to hear themselves on stage better than ever. As a musician, especially as a singer, I understand the need to hear what's going on onstage.
I have run sound for the following bands:
Mynera
Forever Grey
Rockhill
Dora Dank
Changing Faith
WOO
Bothersome
Cage

I also have a small lighting rig of 8 par 38 cans that sense sound to move with the beat of your music if you need lights.
On top of that, I have a well-trained ear, so your band will sound it's very best every time.
I am EXTREMELY reasonable with my pricing. I am very punctual and will get your band running on time.
