Wil_Couch + Musician in Buffalo, NY

SEEKING

ABOUT

Currently based in Buffalo, NY, I am a lifelong musician, and pocket bass player. Drawing influence from a vast array of genres and musicians, I've established a solid, grooving style, preferring to lock in with the percussion and present a bass line that compliments the music.

With over 20+ years of experience in music I've played 100's of live performances in a vast range of genres and styles, years of touring, and countless hours of studio work. With performances ranging from solo, to 100 piece orchestras, and styles ranging from classical and baroque, to jazz and fusion, to country, rock, and nearly everything in between.

Past groups include:
The Commons - Houghton NY
Lucid - Buffalo NY
The Great Mistake - Buffalo NY
The Dreaming Tree (now The Dave Matthews Tribute Band)
Orphans of Country - Buffalo NY
and more...
