Mixed Beats
Hi, my name is Cameron Martinez, and welcome to my band's page. Recently I got a band together. Together the 3 of us play many styles of music. We play jazz, gipsy jazz, rock, blues, flamenco, latin, and some surf. We are right now in the works for looking for a bass player, and or a drummer. -Thank you- And welcome to Mixed Beats homepage.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We just got together recently, but are progressing fast. I, Cameron Martinez, have been playing piano for the past 10 years. I picked up guitar 2 years ago. Ben Wade has played for a long period of time and even taken flamenco guitar lessons in MExico. August Connolly took lessons localy and is mainly into gipsy surf kind of music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live ever so often. It's fun being able to play in front of a live audience and entertain them.
