About
I'm a non-smoking, -druggie, -drinking, -drama, solid bass player with a wide-range background voice. Not many frills, just solid. My priorities are: family (married with two girls), work (gotta provide--music can't do that consistently), and music. In that order. Music's important to me, but it's clearly third.
That said, I dig on good-time rock and roll ("Classic rock", whatever that means), some moderate metal (Tantric, Godsmack, Megadeth), and some other stuff (Ray Lamontagne, 311, No Doubt, etc). Wide ranges of stuff. Try me! Chances are I like it!
Influences
Primary influences growing up were John Taylor and Geddy Lee, but now I'm driven to improve watching the likes of Mic Todd, David Ellefson and the late Mike Starr and Mike Inez.
Equipment List
Fender Jazz USA 5-string, Ibanez 4-string, David Eden head & Peavey cab. Yamaha EMX5000 board.
