SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hey all, good day to you!
Currently playing bass guitar with a local SLC band of gypsies but always looking for a 2nd situation to get in some lead/rhythm guitar and vocal time and to play different repertoire.
60-something with experience in all areas: live gigs, bar jams, recording, writing, recording, busking. Creative, reliable and very into the groove and the jam while bringing a confident audience-friendly vibe live, and professionalism in the studio.
I make the effort to get along for the sake of band unity and the final performance, so no drama from me but also no drama wanted from those around me, just really want to make good music, have fun while doing it, improve as we go, and give a noteworthy final product to whoever is listening.
My other side is co-writing, arranging and creative input/production assistance. I love the recording and mixing process almost as much as the "musical" part of music.

Route 74 excerpt
Route 74 excerpt Year: 2016 Genre: Classic Rock
For some change of inspiration I bought Complete Takes from Loop Loft several years ago and constructed this rough arrangement in a 60s Booker T style. There is no Route 74 that inspired this, it's a joke on the main chord structure, root, flat 7 and 4th.
