Band to Join.

ABOUT

Longtime bassist wanting to connect with bands or forming bands to play/enjoy covers, and less experience but would enjoy writing and composition with group. Happy to back up gigging musicians who need some bass support. I can play to chord charts/progressions and am generally fluent with keys, scales, basic theory & song structure,12-bar blues, Nashville numbering, etc. to converse. Song lists in my pictures of things I can come ready-to-play. My name is pretty unique - you can probably find me on LinkedIn alongside my day job resume there - also add an underscore between my first_last and add and you found me there - or check out Feather Guitars.
