I've been playing original music and covers around the front range since the early 90s. Past projects include Bushtic, Spiv, Go Patriot and Burste. I currently have a project of my own called Protosonic which plays only occasional, local shows. I recently quit my day job in order to focus more on my music and to join a working project. My goal is to offset my income with as many gigs as I can get and only work part time to make up the rest. Ultimately, I intend to leave the day job behind altogether and just play/tour. I'm not afraid to expand and learn new styles. I'm a technical player who can create interesting lines without loosing the feel of the music. I can sing and play but I have a low voice, no lead vox please. I am reliable and responsible and I don't care what anyone else does as long as the music gets played and we get paid.

Influences:

King Crimsom, Tool, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Morphine, Pinback, C.O.C., Bela Fleck, Jeff Buckley, Jethro Tull, Primus, Soundgarden, QOTSA, Black Sabbath, Menomena, Tortoise, At the Drive In, Mars Volta, Muse, Spearhead, The Beatles, blah blah blah...... and all the musicians I encounter around the local scene.

Equipment List:

I play a Ric and an Ibanez SDGR 5-string electric bass and 4-string acoustic bass. I have a gig-worthy Gallien-Kreuger Head with a Genz Benz 2-10 cabinet. I have a good selection of pedals on my pedal board and I know how to use them. They can come along or stay home
