ABOUT

I'm a lifelong bass player dedicated to the process that achieves my goals. I have over 140 cover songs in my portfolio that are "performance ready," which can be found here:

What is important to me is a group consistent with structure, growth, and goals. I have a professional work ethic and take my playing seriously. I am a non-smoker.

I can play and adapt to many styles. I have a photographic memory, so I learn new songs very quickly.

I am fluent in playing with a pick, fingers, and slap. I can sight-read bass clef sheet music. Both notation and tab easily.

Please feel free to contact me if you need someone to temporarily fill in for a gig or two.

I am not looking to play original music at this time.

Influences

I have enjoyed playing rock/classic rock/alternative from 1980 to today. I can play every style and adapt quickly to different situations. My preferred playing style is 80's - 90's pop rock.

I have also worked in a Motley Crue tribute band and can pull off a very good stage presence of Nikki Sixx - see photo.

I've played Jazz, Classical (upright Double Bass with French & German bows), Rock, Metal, Alternative, Country, Top 40, etc.
