Don

From: N.Y. " Southern Tier"
Living: N.Y. "Finger lakes Region"
Instrument: Drums, Percussion, Vocals
Equipment: Pearl Drums, Pastie & Zildjian cymbals, Sure mics.
Background: I developed an interest in music when I was in the single digits and started playing the kit at age 8. My dad has been in a band since I can remember and my first paying gigs were with his band. I joined my first "working" rock cover band at age eighteen and played in several over the years. In the early 90's, I had a lot of fun playing cover tunes with "Uncle Fester". After that we formed "The Rifle Butts" band to perform our original music. We produced a CD and shared the stage with a few national acts such as "Molly Hatchet". I am currently having a great time with the other members of "Fester" performing classic / modern rock covers from our favorite bands. I invite you to fester-up and help us "create the electricity" at our next gig.
