SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a seasoned guitar, bass player and singer. Have excellent gear and a studio at Oakland Music Complex. Preferably looking for a bass player, drummer, and keys, but open to another guitar player, or possibly joining in an existing group. I am currently playing with other bass players and drummers that could plugged into a new collaboration. Looking for players to join in creating new sounds, songs, playing covers, having fun, jamming, recording, and playing shows. Collaboration, improvisation, creation, experimentation, etc
