Any Musicians Out There?

Posted by Bobby Davis @bobbydavis, Sep 25, 2017

I'd love to know who all the musicians are out there. Please share what instrument(s) you play (or if you're a singer, electronic musician, etc.), whether you do any home recording, perform live, what style(s) music you play, etc. Whatever you're comfortable sharing. From total beginners to gigging pros, it would be great to know what kind of talent we have out there.

I'll go first, since I kicked-off the topic:

- Guitar (7-string)
- Primarily Metal and Progressive Metal (ironically, I love EDM too)
- I author a blog, where I post bi-weekly articles on guitar topics
- I used to perform live, but not any longer
- I have a home recording studio
- I occasionally (but rarely) still give guitar lessons

Okay, your turn!

Hey, Bobby,
Pete Avelar here. I'm a nurse in the Dept of Urology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. I play drums & sing in a country band just about every weekend. I perform locally throughout the state of Az, but I've also gotten to perform in New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada & California. I've had the pleasure of opening shows for the Charlie Daniels Band, Craig Morgan, Kelli Pickler, Lee Bryce, The Randy Rogers Band, Easton Corbin, & Dierks Bentley to name a few. Occasionally, I get to perform at Gilley's at Treasure Island in Las Vegas. As you can tell, it's my passion. It's as rewarding as my 25 year tenure of nursing at Mayo Clinic.

Hey Pete, that's awesome! I'm in AZ as well (I don't live in Scottsdale anymore, I now telework from Chandler).
