ABOUT

I mostly play fiddle and guitar but I do a lot of upright bass work too. I can sing leads and/or can quickly pickup harmonies. I am fluent in other stringed instruments too. I play music for a living and am able to play with almost any kind of outfit or genre (I've done everything from Western Swing, old time jazz, country, RnR, Bluegrass and more). I do prefer country, bluegrass, folk though. I have good ear training (can hear intervals), know the number system as well as chords charts, and can "shoot from the hip" pretty well. somasnikpoh at ya hoo dot com NOTE: Please contact me via my email or phone number as I don't really check this site anymore. Thanks
