I'm an experienced bass player who can sing some lead & back-up vocals. Looking for gigging rock, blues, or country cover band in the Bend area -- ideally a trio or four-piece.
A native Oregonian, but new to Bend (as of Spring 2024). I've played 1,000+ gigs in 7 states so far: OR, WA, ID, MT, NY, NJ, PA.
I’ve also gigged as a singer/songwriter, playing acoustic guitar and/or bass in solo and duo situations.
