ABOUT

Love music; love the experience of creating it. I am going to write and perform music throughout my life and am looking for like minded artists. I can play beginner's level guitar, bass, harmonica, and some piano/keyboards, but prefer to sing, backing or main. I've sung and performed solo with acoustic guitar, keyboard, and harmonicas. I've also sung backing vocals and played the bass guitar with two bands, "Caveman Lawyer" and "Dulcet Flux" and performed mostly with them. Relocated to DC seeking more opportunity. See ://.purevolume/BigGunsBates for more of my music.
