About
I'm a 41-year-old bassist with about 25 years' experience, pro gear, no drug or alcohol problems, and a good attitude. I can also sing backup (or lead, if it's within my limited range) and play some keys in a pinch. I've played in bands covering everything from the Black Crowes to Rush (as well as some original bands, though I've pretty
much left that behind these days). I know a wide variety of classic rock, blues, and southern rock already, and I have a good ear for picking up new material. If appearance is crucial to you, you'll probably want to look elsewhere; to be blunt, I'm a fat, balding, middle-aged white dude. 8-) But if the music is your priority, I think I can give you what you need.
Influences
Too many to list. I cut my teeth on classic progressive rock (Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull), and enjoy modern progressive music as well (Porcupine Tree, Riverside). I also love good Southern rock (Allmans, Skynyrd), blues rock (ZZ Top, Steveie Ray Vaughan), jazz rock (Steely Dan, Blood Sweat & Tears), and a lot of stuff that's harder to classify (King's X, Eleven, Frank Zappa). Basically, if it's good and/or interesting, I'll probably dig it.
