Band to Join.

ABOUT

Hi there. My name's Hal. I've been playing in different bands for the past 25 years and was last with with The Almost Faithful (.thealmostfaithful).

Now that I'm back in the DC area, I'm looking for a new band to play with with the goal of getting on the stage ASAP! I am extremely adept at coming into a project and quickly learning the songs, especially by ear and feel (which is how I learned how to play bass). I do my best to understand the role the bass is playing in each particular project and song and I strive to do no more and no less than that.
