SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a bassist, singer songwriter and guitarist currently in Baltimore, MD. I am seeking a working situation and WILLING to travel. I use Fender basses and various amps, depending upon the needs of the group/venue. Fluent in multiple styles/genres. I write as well and use guitar and my voice as tools for this endeavor. I do not drink, but am no saint either. Reliable, flexible, trans, energetic, quick study and looking for those that want to work. No excuses, just do the creating and go to work. If you give up easily, do not love music and performing enough to push your limits, than leave me alone. This is about heart, soul, purpose, potential and growth. This is where I am coming from at this time.

EQUIPMENT

Fender Jazz and Fender Precision are main stays. Peavey, Traynor, Ampeg are used as required. Yamaha Acoustic as needed. Various effects, but I find that ''Keeping it simple.'' works well. I am always open to new and exciting aspects concerning sound. In other words, there's always another purchase that I want to make and I'm still like a kid in a candy store while at GC.
