SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

Experienced gigging bass player looking for a new project. I’m comfortable with almost any style but prefer a more soulful, off-the-beaten-track rock, R&B or funk feel.

I've been involved in music my whole life. In addition to playing bass I have experience as a singer, arranger, keyboardist, occasionally as a songwriter. I have a very good ear and can learn almost any song just by listening but I’m more than capable of reading music and tabs. I can always pick out that middle harmony or add one you never thought was there.

My most recent work was with the Katrina Marie Band, which played a mix of covers and originals. I'm definitely comfortable providing backing vocals. The band was a victim of the pandemic, like so many other things.
