ABOUT

Regular pro performer in Las Vegas on upright bass in big bands, small jazz ensembles, blues, southern rock, rockabilly, etc. My electric bass playing is centered around Motown, Jam Band Southern Rock, Bebop jazz, Blues, and fusion. I sight-read charts fluently in pretty much any style or format, as is demanded in Vegas shows, and carry a no-drama pro attitude at all times. Looking for a Motown show band, a blues band with horns, an EW&F-type band - any band like this that has great singers, puts on a good show, makes people dance and most important, it works!
