SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Dobro.ABOUT
Although I play a little bit of everything with strings or keys, my main thing is the Bass. I learned the keyboard as a young child, moved on to guitar a little later, and finally got my first bass around the age of nine. I was instantly hooked. I learned all of the classic 60's/70's rock and gradually learned a little bit of everything else, finding jazz and dub as the foundations to thump around on my four string. I recently recorded a dub album and released on , and although it gives hints as to what I am about, the true player never really shines through in the electronic mixed up bit of dub I painstakingly (attempted) to record and mix in a way that made sense. I've been looking for others to play with forever and even though I have met several people who say that they are "awesome guitarists" or "live for beating the drums" they never seem to come through or even want to think about actually playing. I am hoping that by reaching out on here that will change.
