SEEKING

Vocalist, Lead Guitar.

ABOUT

I have been playing the club scene here in Portland with a local cover band for the past 20 years. I sing lead about half the time and harmony the rest. I play a bunch of instruments but Bass is my main thing. I have uploaded some of my own tunes on which I play all instruments and do all the vocals in my home studio. Also there are videos and live audio of the Bands I work with "Thin Ice Band" and The Hipwaiters. My recording is ongoing and I am open to a recording project with the right person or people. I engineer as well. You can hear me on iTunes, Amazon,Napster,CD Baby and the rest if it matters. I am not taking on any new projects at this time. My current performance load is close to 100 shows this year. It is all I have time for.
Cheers

EQUIPMENT

I have it all and lots of it. Well..."all is a bit much" I have some basses (MusicMan and G&L 5 strings). I have some amp variations to play those basses (Mostly lots of cabnets with 10s and others with 18s). Just depends on whats needed. I use an swr head and various other amps to power the cabnets. I also use a small rehearsal amp because I know my live rig is plenty loud for most venues and I just want to hear well at when putting it all together. I have a nice PA with Crown I tech 4 and 6 thousand amps on the FOH and various QSC amps on the monitors, I have and recomend In-ear monitoring. I have many good guitars a few good synths and stage piano setups. I have good recording equipment and love to write. My studio is based around logic studio 9, Mac computers. and other recording goodies I can't live without. I have good transportation and a nice rehearsal space.
