ABOUT

I am a seasoned and serious bassist looking for a band to play with in the local area. I play multiple genres of crowd pleasers ..50's to current rock, country, metal, funky fusion and originals. I can sing some background vocals. I play and record electric bass and work with synths well too. It would be great to be in a band where we all are friends and play well together.

Influences

I've been influenced by too many players to list. Styles like James Jamerson, Jaco, Geddy, Flea, Leland Sklar, Jeff Berlin, any great finger bass player, I will continue being influenced by any new unique player who comes along.
I like to play bass with my own style and my own punchy sound.
