SEEKING

ABOUT

May, 2024
Thank you for checking out my page.

I am actively seeking a position in a professional band that is playing casinos, and/or corporate events, festivals, and private parties, but I am not adverse to playing clubs and bars. I'm looking for people who play like the music means something to them, and are motivated to be successful.
I'm okay with joining a start-up if the people involved can work fast to get things off the ground,.

I will travel for the right project. I learn songs very quickly, and show up to rehearsals prepared and ready to work. I show up to gigs ready to perform, and I can also sing back up.

I fell in love with electric bass over 35 years ago, and never felt the desire to stray from my chosen instrument. I will give my all in playing energetic rock, funk, R&B, disco, pop, blues, new wave, and jazz... or almost anything else. To me, performing a song is much more than having the chord changes down.

I don't consider myself a "studio musician" because my passion lies in live performance, but I am no stranger to studio work, and have extensive experience in everything from high end studios to home recording set ups. I am also fully equipped to contribute remotely recorded bass lines in any format, with an attention to technical details like sample rates and file naming conventions.
