Mainly, I play bass in a power rock trio context and write songs. I'm looking for a lead singer to collaborate with and form a new band; Or: studio work (can read and arrange) for any style; Or: I can sit in and play bass on almost anything. I might join a band, but it needs to be a well-run operation with experienced players. I have a basement studio/practice space. I also play guitar and some piano. I consider myself a back-up singer (and thus, that is why I am search of a lead singer.) I have had a couple of tunes played on local radio, but only on VERY limited playlists. My goal is to do better than that in the future.

Influences:

Bass: John Entwistle, Chris Squire, Jack Bruce...I've tried to pick up some sounds from some great jazz players also.
Composition: Who, Radiohead, Pink Floyd (especially Syd Barrett), Peter Murphy, Bowie, Peter Gabriel. I tend to go back to the 60s psychedelic period (J. Airplane) but I have many different influences. From basic rock and roll to experimental instrumental--with odd meters. I even listen to classical Bartok and Beethoven or Tangerine Dream. I tend to avoid anything country, southern rock, soul, or straight-ahead blues.

Equipment List:

I play a Fender precision through two 15" custom cabs with a custom-built power head. It is vintage, but it works.
