I’ve been playing bass since the age of 12. In high school I was in the "Dead Endz". In my college years I played with the "The Hitchcocks" where I co-wrote a song with B.F. Stokes called "Story no one's read". The song got some great airplay on the local college radio station at the time. I'm currenlty working with Greg Griffin and the Dry Creek band, a Country/Southern rock band. There are a few demo songs on this site.

I'm looking to have a little fun and make some pocket change in the process.

I understand the need for "In the pocket" bass playing, nothig better than a tight rhythm section. I can stay "in the pocket or out" when appropriate. I can do Background vocals.
