I'm a recently transferred student at WIU, studying a degree in music therapy. My primary instrument of study is double bass (upright), but I also play bass guitar with more electrified ensembles. The bulk of my gigging experience comes from playing piano and other keyboards in bands in the past. Additionally, I have a tenor-baritone vocal range. I also know my way around a lap steel guitar. For purposes of playing out in Macomb, I'd like to focus on the bass, vocals, and perhaps some lap steel (my keyboards are inaccessible at the moment and they are not where my practice focuses) I'm quite proficient in music theory and utilize it in writing my own compositions, but it's not a deal breaker if you're not or indifferent on it.

Influences
I'm studying jazz in school, but I'm also into rock and anything that branches off of that (classic, prog, some metal). I also enjoy folk, bluegrass, and other acoustic oriented music. Message if you want to talk specifics on bands. (I typed a long, exhaustive list, and lost it due to browser issues, and I don't want to type it again.)
