ABOUT

I am an upright bass player looking to join or form an original project. It would be hard to label but here is a sense of what I am looking for (but not sound like): Tin Hat, Punch Brothers, Bela Fleck, Project Trio, Painted Saints, ect. You should get the idea if you know some of these groups. I am open to new projects and/or groups. Drop me a line if interested.

Think new grass, folk punk, gypsy jazz, new chamber/acoustic music, ect.
