Multi faceted musician specializing in Electric Bass guitar and lead & backing vocals. 30+ years on stage so far!. Most experienced with classic rock covers and oldies, R & B, southern rock and my own compositions which are folk-rock based. Co-fronted a number of bands playing Bass and singing lead vocals.
Also have experience in the recording studio with session gigs. Quick study and chart friendly with the Nashville number system and chord symbols. ALSO proficient with Piano/Keyboard, Acoustic and Electric guitar, rhythm and some lead, with experience performing gigs and in the studio as well. Would prefer a rehearsal situation based in the Nashville area, and gig maybe within a 50 mile radius??
