Union Musicians Wanted
drummernj | 77-year-old male | Union, NJ | Member since 2025 | 153 karma
Have been performing professionally since I was 16 years old. Have literally played thousands of gigs in all types of venues and styles. Live and session work. Interested in working on a freelance basis with other professionals. Also interested in starting a band with the right personnel. Have to be professionally minded, know your instrument and willing to rehearse. I have over 20 years experience with marketing and booking. All the bookings I've been involved with are done on the basis of contracted fees only. It is the "music business" after all. I treat it as such. I'm a boomer, but in my opinion age is irrelative. As long as you're in good shape and have retained your chops, age doesn't matter. Experience and playing ability is all that counts.
