ABOUT

My main instrument is bass, but I also play guitar. I have played in a number of cover bands in the past --- mostly classic rock (including a Grateful Dead cover band I was in for some time).

I would like to find some people to jam with and maybe work up some originals. I am mostly into playing blues rock and jam band type music, but love progressive rock and hard rock as well. You can email me at softmachine at iname dot com.
