ABOUT

davebasaraba(they won't let me type G`mail) to contact me directly and skip this "Premier Membership" crap.

I spent over a decade living in Los Angeles as a studio and session musician. I've toured extensively throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Japan, logging over 2000 shows just since 2005. I'd like to tour in Australia next, so if you're going, I'm coming!!

I've played with countless bands, but you might recognize a few of these (maybe not):
Meredith Brooks (Los Angeles), Avril Lavigne (Los Angeles), Jamie Wyatt (Los Angeles), David George (Kansas City), Paul Freeman (London/Los Angeles), Bascom Hill (Madison, WI), Bec Hollcraft (Los Angeles), Becca (Japan), The Northstar Session (Los Angeles), Reggie Houston (Portland, OR), Norman Sylvester (Portland, OR), Stephen Ashbrook (Portland, OR), Tom Grant (Portland, OR), Julianne Johnson (Portland, OR)... and the list goes on.

Influences

If my parents were listening to it, it influenced me growing up... and my Dad has an LP collection of over 6000 albums. So you could say I was influenced by anything from Sting and the Police to Little Feat, Doobie Brothers, the Platters and Dean Martin to Jr. Walker and everyone in between – all the way to contemporaries like John Mayer, Counting Crows, and Kings of Leon and more.
