Hi.
I'm available to join an established, working band. I want to be in an oganization I can be proud of, and where I can make a contribution.

I'm a singer (check out the vocal demo) and bassist (other demos). I've got experience in Motown, pop, soft rock, top 40, funk, blues, smooth jazz, classic rock, 40's big band, standards, 50's & country. I'm not a frustrated guitarist- I play BASS as my main instrument; I love to lock in the groove with a tight drummer and rhythm section.

I have a solid knowledge of music theory, a great ear, and a very steady "clock." I show up on time and prepared for rehearsals and gigs. I have a pretty large memorized repertoire -including the most commonly requested wedding reception tunes. I can also help out on backup vocals, or switch to a little guitar or keys if necessary.

I'm low maintenance; I bring no dama to the situation. Comedy - maybe - but no drama!

Please contact me by e-mail at bandmix.20.cfs@xoxy.net
Thanks.
Chuck
