SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I’ve been around the block. I’ve toured, lived in a van and had a record contact. I’ve played with great musicians and still do… but now I’m looking for something weird and fun. I’ve been playing bass forever and playing upright for about the last 20 years. So yes I’ve got a long grey beard and I’m well versed in traditional music. But I’m looking to bring an upright vibe to some hip-hop, go-go, funk, electro-craziness.

Influences
Ginkgoa…not really an influence, but more of a direction…Peter Gabriel, G-Love, Bootsy…I think you get the idea, something fun and where an upright bass may seem out of place, that’s where I want to be.
