Streetnix's revolutionary new album created a new sound. Ironically, in trying to emulate the album live, we actually redefined our sound and our direction as a band. Streetnix, then, made a distinct break from their doo-wop roots and moved on into a different direction. BJ has settled into the role of drummer in his band pretty much full time. In the live show, I sing a few leads, as well as backing vocals in some of the slower songs we do without percussion.
Some songs are a mix of both.
This mix of both was what got BJ started in percussion in the first place. BJ hasn't completely discarded his vocal past, though. BJ is featured as a soloist on Streetnix's Time Permitting . In addition, BJ has a large instrumental background. He's played piano, bassoon, trombone, drums, classical guitar, and recently bought a 12-string guitar.
