ABOUT

1/21/20: I'm probably most interested in joining a very high-level/pro regularly-gigging band playing clubs with great audiences as a bass player and sometime lead singer. Funky, danceable 80s pop/80s tribute or other tribute group by artist or decade. I like a lot of music of course, so reach out and see what happens.

***No startups, please.***

***No digital auditions, please.***

The regular stuff:
I have a music degree in classical music, but I've done seemingly everything from Bluegrass to all kinds of Classical, to Jazz, Folk, Pop, Rock and Hard Rock.

I've sung a lot and have played Trumpet, French Horn, Piano/Keyboard, Acoustic/Electric 6/12-String Guitars, 4,5,6 String Basses and Upright Bass, and drums.

I've performed on porches and backyards, coffehouses and bars, clubs and concert halls, embassies, event complexes, outdoor festivals and wineries, restaurants and bookstores, sports arenas, fields and conventions.

I've spent almost 20 years performing in a pro-quality event band that's played a lot of great venues across the country, and we've opened up for a few great nationally-known acts we've all heard of. Time to spread the wings and get back to playing great clubs and great public gigs!
