SEEKING

ABOUT

Don’t cancel that gig! Plug-and-play bassist with 500+ song recall avail.

Aka Rockin' Davey D., David James, SoundScape Music Ltd., House Money.

If you need a gig-ready permanent replacement or maybe just a walk-on bass player with BGV for a show. Seasoned, former studio/stage/tour pro is available. rockindaveyd (at) (yahu) dot com - because bandmix doesn't allow emails addresses.
Solid, confident, professional.

I'm not a stage statue. I'll add energy to any room you can book. Young-looking 50's (life has been quite fair to me).

Live and Studio Bassist:
NoNames, The Stingrays, Branded Ways, Bigger Than Life, Man Bites Dog, Who’s The Boss, Tracy Ullman / Married With Children / The Simpsons (various FOX sweeteners during their inception) and hundreds of projects as a ghost bassist.
