Paid performances within a 4-part harmony vocal group as lead melody vocalist (2nd tenor) and within chorus. Created MIDI practice tracks and song charts for group practice. Produced audio-video for online distribution and rehearsal use. Audience wept as if chopping onions. Yes it's spelled acapella with two l's and one p.

Lead guitar and vocals for classic hard rock and effing roll cover band. Small live shows and city festival. Created audio/video recordings, video productions and web site for internal and external customers (also known as, social media fans). Notable experiences include being mildly electrocuted on stage due to incorrect grounding of equipment and being mobbed by groupies.

Rhythm guitarist for 60s classic rock cover band (also known as, "geriatric rock"), live performances around town and concert.
