I'm 38 years old and have played in gigging bar bands on and off since 1984. I play Bass, Rhythm Guitar & Drums but my main instrument is Bass Guitar. I've sung lead and backing vocals in different bands throughout the years when need be. I've also mixed sound for several bands I've played in, as well as, bands that hired me for that specific purpose.

I'm looking to join a gigging bar band that plays blues, country, southern rock, the right metal band or start up a new band from scratch.

I'm able to practice a couple of days a week in the evenings as long as it will be productive with the main goal of getting out and playing paying gigs. I'm not into the whole "Let's play in the garage for a year before we get a gig" situation.

I'm willing to travel up to 50 miles away from Madison, SD for practice.

I've played in large and small venues all over the Midwest and Southern California throughout the years opening for bands such as Indiginous at the Sioux Falls Arena and Warrant in California.

Song 01: "Can't You See (Marshall Tucker Band Cover)": This is a audio clip of me playing bass and singing. The gig was a fill in where I had never practiced with the guys and was winging it that night. We played three sets and the only instructions I got was right before we played a song, the guitar player would tell me what key the song was in.

Song 2: Me,Leo,& Henry (Original)
This was my first attempt at recording on my digital 8 track recorder. I wrote the song and lyrics as well as played all the instruments on the song except for the drums. I used a drum machine.

Song 3: A Friend Of Mine (Original)
This is a song I recorded a while back. I play all the guitar and do the vocals. There is no bass guitar on the track and I used a drum machine.

Influences:

Lynard Skynard, Kid Rock, John Mellencamp, Wilson Picket, Paul Rogers, The Who, Chris Duarte, Armored Saint, plus a whole lot more.
