SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a longtime veteran of the Long Island music scene, which mostly consists of cover bands playing Sixties and Seventies Classic Rock covers. I played in many bands over the years. I've also performed both as a singer and bassist with choral groups such as the Huntington Men's Chorus. I played for many years in my local church's worship groups and also did ten years in the choir. I am a strong, "In the pocket" player with a good groove. I am strong lead singer and an excellent background vocalist. Although I have chops to spare, I consider myself a "Songwriter who plays bass," first and foremost.

Relocated to the Asheville area in 2021 and am still getting acclimated to the local scene. Love the musical diversity here and that audiences are so open to original music.

Looking for people to jam and collaborate with.
