One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a Weezer cover band in small town Iowa during high school with a few friends. I was the main singer and guitar player. We also played classic rock covers, including a guest appearance from a local guy who could sing killer AC/DC lead vocals. We performed at birthdays, for homecoming, weddings, bars, Christmas concerts, talent shows, and town celebrations. It was legit and we made quite a bit of money doing it.
