ABOUT

Excellent bass player, vocalist. Fall 23 update … moving to Beverly MA! I believe playing should be very life affirming. My lingering dream remains a trio (G/B/D,) fem singer and either a couple backup vocals or brass / multi instruments. Collaborative, musical, occasional performance. I play elec bass and sing. Maybe some upright. My favs for covers would be Mavis, Neko Case, Eillen Jewell…calexico, counting crows… less the obvious cover stuff although open to suggestion. Working on originals and need help. All about songs and sound; less about solos. No shedders, no metal, no games. Gear head. Left ear shot. Kind, mature, plays well w others. Interested to find creative players who enjoy playing what they want to play, not chasing a weekend paycheck, and still enjoy a number (6? 8? I dunno) gigs a year. Also do this w my old bandmates in Bklyn about 2X year.
