Professional keyboard player looking for established band

Hi, My name is Jason Friedman and I am from Merced, CA. I am originally from Denver, CO. After graduating from Northern Colorado in 1998, with a minor in Classical Piano Performance, I became a songwriter and performed with the popular Denver, CObased Jam Band, “Bagneo” . I also began playing in jazz ensembles and performed with many acclaimed jazz professionals such as Stanton Moore, Michael Travis, Art Lande, Dave Watts, Bill Kopper and Kirwin Brown before moving to Merced, CA in 2006 to pursue a business opportunity. Shortly after moving to the Central Valley, I became a member of “Donnie and the Wayrads”. I also play keyboards at many of the festivals, casinos and fairs for various bands throughout the central valley and bay area (“Arrival”, Dave Souza Band, “Aquanet”, etc.). I do solo gigs as well, for wedding services and jazz piano during cocktail hour before wedding receptions, along with playing in a Latin Jazz trio for dinner hours.


Basically, I am looking to expand my horizons. I am interested in auditioning for any vacancies or needs for keyboards for any well established band. I am also interested in auditioning as a solo piano player in a "duo" setting. I am exceptionally skilled in piano, Hammond B3, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, 80s Synth, horns, pads, Moog, etc. I can play any style and am perfectly capable of molding into any band. I also can do backup vocals.

Please take a look at my website http://jasonfriedmanmusic.com . On there, you will be able to see pictures, along with some songs that I have composed (Christian music). All instruments, including drums were written and laid down by myself. I did have a friend from church lay down the vocals (lead vocals is not my strongest point). Not everything here is even close to complete, since it’s all done in my highly inexpensive home studio/office, but it will give you an idea of my ability of playing (mainly piano). Like I said, I take pride in the fact that I can play in any style or genre, I can show off major "chops", and can keep any pocket groove going. I have a songlist of over 350 songs.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to get in touch with me.

Thanks so much for your time,
Jason Friedman
