SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Other Percussion.ABOUT
I have been playing bass in an acoustic cover trio for a few years. I like working within that format, but I’m open to others as well. Currently I have been working with individual vocalists and songwriters, playing bass, and cajon.
I’m looking to join a band that likes to experiment with songs, or support individual artists that want a fuller sound playing out. I work best in a collaborative situation with freedom to try different approaches, but I don’t overplay and I am always respectful of others opinions.
My musical tastes are extremely varied and I enjoy playing songs that people love, but have maybe forgotten because they weren’t the big hits, or twisting things around with the heavily covered songs.
