SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar.ABOUT
I relocated to the Sarasota, Florida area in 2012 from the Connecticut/New York area. I have been playing club gigs since 17 and have been gigging ever since.
I have played a wide variety of music ranging from progressive rock to folk to jazz. My forte is melodic rock, with a classical influence. The majority of my work has been in original bands, although I have played in many cover bands. I believe in the theory "less is more" and that the song is the most important factor.
