ABOUT

Professional bassist with 20 + years experience playing all styles of music. (I was a former musician in the US Navy) I have my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Music. I am looking for a start up or existing project that needs a bassist. Currently I play in a cover band, however, I would like to be in an original project.. I enjoy playing most styles from Americana to Classic Rock to Jazz to Reggae to Country to Rockabilly (as long as the band is playing tight and the crowd is loving it). Contact me at bass.playr73 at the g mail
