Roger Poole

ABOUT

Roger Poole - Current bassist and harmony singer for Cactus Jack band, Fredericksburg, VA. : s://./CactusJackBandSpotsy. I also play bass for the Tyler Nichols Band from Westmoreland County, Virginia. See s://./TylerNicholsMusic/.
Primarily Electric Bass, Harmony Vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar.
I've played and done these things since my high school band, starting out with rock of that era - late 60's, 70's. I ended up playing Top 40 Country and Rock for a living for 12 years and did well, after which I got into Computer Programming and left the music business. Since then I've played on the side in various bands, covering styles like modern and classic rock, modern and classic country, blues, all-original modern rock, modern folk rock, and yes, even Celtic for a few gigs. I'm highly interested in doing original tunes, but also in cover songs and playing live.
