SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Multi-instrumentalist (bass, guitar, and keys) with a passion for playing and variety of influences. Jazz, rock, blues, country, funk, and many other styles.
Currently looking to play bass with other musicians. I'd really like to get into a jazz trio/combo (piano, bass, drums) for playing at local clubs, however I am open to other options such as backing solo performers, lounge, big band, and many other styles. I'd also like to utilize my guitar playing capabilities by playing rhythm and some lead in a band as well.
