Professional Bass Player Seeks Gigs

I am a professional Detroit area bass player. In late august I will be relocating to the Chicago area to attend Columbia College, as a Jazz Studies Major. I have over 11 years of professional playing experience and great industry contacts.

I have played with groups such as Sponge, Fifth Way, The Bugs Beddow Band, Garden of Souls, Drake, Dan Valliancourt, The Wall Cloks and many others.

I have opened for bands such as: Ashes of Soma, Theory of a Deadman, Days of the New, Candlebox, Saving Able and many others...

My personal bass and musical influences include: Aston "Familyman" Barrett, Victor Wooten, John Paul Jones, Jaco Pastorius, James Jamerson and many others.

Due to my relocation, I am currently looking to play around the local area. Style of music, venue and pay don't really matter to me right now. I am just looking to build more of a name, really try to get out there.

From me you can expect a professional player that will come on time, sober with pro gear that works, and me being dressed appropriately.
So if you need sub work or would be looking for a full time player, please feel free to call (734.718.7716) or e-mail (nic@tasteofbass.com) anytime for more information and some of my sound clips. I look forward to working with you.
