ABOUT

I'm a bassist/guitarist/vocalist into all types of rock. I’m reliable, trust worthy and easy to get along with. I enjoy playing for a good crowd, and making people feel better about life thru music. No big ego here, just an ability to add my gifts to the right mix and have fun while making a few bucks.
I'm looking to play with a combo that knows how to play to a room. Smaller gigs, less gear, with a good full sound appeal to me, but I’m flexible. Mostly, I enjoy playing with journeyman who are like minded.
I’m an individualist, who likes to put my own experience into a song. Note for note copy is cool, but not for me. Minimal rehearsal.
Currently looking for an electric 3-4 piece band to play smaller clubs, wineries, bars, restaurants etc,
I can sing lead and harmony, and even play a little banjo and harp for a feature tune or two. Not interested in big egos, endless rehearsals, or perfect carbon copies, just a good sound mix, a cool wave, and a smooth vibe, and someone who enjoys sharing music in a loose, easy going scene. From mellow acoustic to hot rock.
