I'm a bass player in my 40s searching for a band that wants to play funk, R&B, classic rock, southern rock, blues, and more. I'm also an experienced guitar player who's into many types of music. I've played metal, classic rock, country and blues in bar bands locally, and while love these styles of music I would like to branch out and try some other genres. I've been playing guitar for 25 years (give or take), bass for about 4 years and gigging for about 20, on and off. It's been more off than on for more years than I'd like to mention, so I'd like to get back to gigging with some like minded musicians. Along with playing guitar I've had considerable experience in the live recording and merchandising realm.
