ABOUT

Versatile bass player Open to many styles with 30 yrs experience. I like playing original music but also plenty of experience in cover bands ranging from rock, pop and Irish music. I also play upright and fretless basses. I do some singing but mostly as backup. Have played in touring bands, have done 5 recorded albums. Looking to play with a group that loves having fun, making music, is unique and enjoys playing live 3-5 times a month or maybe more...
