SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Well-rounded, pro bassist. 'Ear player' with great range and aptitude. Plays to the song/environment. Can hit high harmonies and an accomplished writing partner/collaborator. Also a sound guitarist (lead/rhythm). Extensive stage/sound experience, moderate touring experience. Played in bands that supported acts such as: Sun Volt, John Mellencamp, Modern English, Gin Blossoms, Dead Hot Workshop, Dandy Warhols, The Shins, Fastball, Queensryche, Judas Priest, Soul Sirkus, and more (a few of those were side stages but hey, that counts...right?!). I really enjoy jam/improvisation and although my demo tracks on this site (for now) are mostly from rock/alt bands where I collaborated on writing/arranging, I do possess a keen jam sensibility.
