Band to Join.

ABOUT

I am a 25 year old bassist whose been playing for 10 years. I am well versed in a wide variety of musical styles including Rock, Alt, Metal, Prog, and Folk/Bluegrass, and I am very open to playing new styles of music and expanding my horizons. I am looking for paying gigs of basically any style. I have been writing and playing music with my drummer for 8 years now, and for 3 or 4 years we were in a 3 piece original instrumental band, playing occasional shows in the area when possible. While my drummer and I continue to write original instrumental material, I am now looking to also get myself involved in the local gigging scene and welcome any offers for a paying bass position within an active band.
