ABOUT

Experienced bassist and vocalist looking for new challenges.

I joined my first rock band in 1971, and have been in and out of bands ever since. Currently bassist and BG vocalist for the Mountain View Players.

I have a good ear, read sheet music, and am quick to learn new songs. Bassist experienced in classic rock, prog rock, blues, R&B, funk, and jazz. Can double on rhythm guitar. As a BG vocalist, I can harmonize over a wide range. Willing to sing lead, but not looking to be a front man. Can set up and operate a PA or recording system. Experienced with X32 and XR18 digital mixers.
