I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.
I was producing demos for a band that was called Physical Ed. Out of production of demos I went and did a few jam sessions with then in Northern California clubs, but I never actually toured with them.
I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.
After about a year or so, I was in L.A.; I'd decided to try to get a band together out there.
I'm in a band, and we play music. And that's sort of my way of still being a rock star.
I love my band - they are the best out there, and I wouldn't want to perform with anyone else.
I have a really good band, and just returned from a short tour in California. It hasn't always gone that well.
Well, I've never been in a touring rock band, it was all just high school and college, playing toga parties in frat houses.
I went to college in Iowa for a little bit and tried to get some bands together there. That was about a year of my life.
Now I'm fortunate to have a good band in CA, and play many solo gigs as well. My point is that I stopped playing in bands and played solo for four years, to get back into the groove and pulse of writing and singing and who I am on stage.
