ABOUT

I am very adaptable and creative, and looking for accomplished musicians to do some small, acoustic gigs. (Bass player, percussionist, mandolin, fiddle, etc.) I am also open to do something electric for larger venues. Age doesn't matter, only musicianship, which should be very high level. I'm also a songwriter with an English degree. I'm trilingual, fluently speaking Spanish and Portuguese. I am available to rehearse a couple of nights a week. I'm also into jazz, but my jazz chops aren't what they used to be. I don't smoke, am a moderate drinker, and don't want to associate with people who do hard drugs.
