About me:
My main instrument is bass, but I also play guitar. My likes are blues, classic rock, new country and originals styles.
I have plenty of live performance experience and been playing bass for about 20+ years with various cover bands. I have the appropriate tools of the trade, I’m dedicated in my craft and I show up on time.
I am lacking vocals, but have provided back-ups (depending on the song) that seemed passable.
