Easy going, experienced bass player looking for like-minded musicians to jam, and possibly play out. My musical interests vary, but mostly I listen to blues, classic rock, country, pop, contemporary Christian, and acoustic genres. I enjoy jamming/ improvising, working to learn the material (covers, originals, doesn't really matter) before we practice. I have pro-quality gear, good transportation, a positive attitude, and a strong interest in making good music, and having fun doing it.
