SEEKING

ABOUT

I've been playing bass professionally, recording, and performing, for 25 years. I went to Musician's Institute in 1990, and have been gigging and recording for most of the last 20 years. I'm looking for a real cool band to work with, and to be inspired by. Original projects preferred, but some covers ok too. I'm extremely professional, and I'm only interested in playing with other professionals, and people as dedicated to making quality music as I am. No hard drugs or excessive drinking either, please. I play music because I love it, so making money is not my sole motivation. It would be nice, but for right now, I just wanna play with some folks who can get DOWN!!! Peace!

Influences

My main influences are Paul MaCartney, Flea , Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Chris from Muse, and many other bassists from all walks of the music world. I like to jam and stretch out on songs, but I also love playing precise parts that are tailored for a particular song, or vibe. I definitely play a more melodic, and prominent style of bass. Not to overplay, but just to fill out the sonic textures, especially in three piece, power-trio type bands. I can play a basic 1-5 country line as well, if need be, so not to worry! I'm well versed in many styles of music, and I'm always trying to improve my whole approach to my instrument.
