Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Violin, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Fiddle.ABOUT
I put my band on ice due to a lack of commitment from my band mates. I have a guitar player/songwriter with whom I work regularly. I’m just looking for a rock band to play with; a groovy group of committed musicians.
********************************************
About Me: I have been playing bass since high school but only in the past 3-4 years or so have I been taking it much more seriously. I have been playing with my band, Alebrijes, for 1 year and change, playing covers of Classic Rock, Rock En Español/Rock Urbano, and Power Metal/Heavy Rock in both English and Spanish. We are primarily one of the only Mago De Oz tribute bands in the area, taking on the challenge of doing their music justice. We have opened for many major touring Latin Rock bands such as Inspector, El Tri, La Castañeda, Rata Blanka and many more. We have enjoyed a house band spot at Evolution Night Club in Sunnyvale, California. We have done business with promoters in L.A. such as La Casa Del Cuervo. All of this has helped me grow and transform as a musician and performer all for the better. I’m young and ambitious but I know that learning never stops. I’m always looking for more to learn and seeking knowledge on a regular bassis (pun intended). I am grateful to my longings teacher and mentor, John Engle, for helping me get this far and continuing to become a better musician. If I get involved with any project, know you will get 110% out of me
