8/19/2011 - I've been playing bass on/off since 1980. You can see my equipment list below.
The attached music sample in the profile is me singing lead vocals for both songs. I'll add more as time permits.
I prefer to play classic rock or current rock and blues. Send an email to me at the address listed above/below as I cannot respond to emails from this website.
I am currently involved in a rock band based in Fredricksburg, VA.
=========
I play bass and acoustic guitar. I do lead and backup vocals. Plenty of stage experience.
I am always looking for people who want to jam and perform. I have been playing different acoustic events in the area lately.
I perform on stage and play out, as I have been for several years now, about 2-4 times a month.

Influences
Influenced by everyone. I started playing in high school (early 80's) and went through several bands. I started a DJ business catering exclusively to DJing weddings. I know how to pack a dance floor, what the popular songs are and what gets people moving.
My major influence and drive is to play onstage. If you play songs that the crowd likes, then they dance. If they dance then they drink more putting money in the 'til. If the owner has a full til at the end of the night you will get a re-booking. Meet those requirements and get into several rotations, you no longer have to be looking for bookings, they will come to you.
To be marketable you need a variety from classic to today. That's what I am looking for!

Bass is what I play as the others are toys to mess with.
