Shane McDonald Musician, Keyboards, Musical Director – My Past Musical Performances
My Musical Performances
As a Musician, I have played at many different venues and in many different styles. This is a list of my musical performances to date with venues, audiences, gigs, and dates included. Most of them are on keyboards but I do play rhythm guitar also. If you want to see a more complete timeline which includes my Queen site please visit My Music Timeline on that page, (there’s an impressive graphical timeline of my career as a Musician on that page).
