SEEKING

Lead Guitar, Other.

ABOUT

I'm either looking for a band to perform with, or a lead guitar to join with myself and the drummer in my band Blue Suede Sun. I'm a standup bass player. I specialize in the rockabilly genre and play a slap/swing style of bass with a rhythmic click. I also play classic country, and country swing. I sing both harmonies and lead. I have professional gear and a positive musical work ethic. I always show up to practice prepared and am professional on stage. I also write songs and have some good unrecorded originals.

EQUIPMENT

Practice space with a PA and drum set. Galien-Krugger Fusion 550 amp. Genz-Benz bass cabinet. I have my rig set up so that I can play quietly or very loud without feedback on the stand-up. I have two pickups on the upright bass. One for bass and one for the click. My bass has been customized for rockabilly. I use a wireless headset mic.
