SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Seasoned bassist with extensive experience; performed throughout the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. Would prefer to work with a group of talented individuals who are constructing tribute acts. I sing backup and lead vocals, have always been a prog-rocker for years and "love my Taurus Bass Pedals" love to shake the house! I am a transplant from Northern California performed with many talented individuals some of whom successfully "made it to the show" and others who are continuing their life long dream; not a name dropper! I am just a rhythm cat who grooves with the drummer, many bassists have pants but lack the "pocket" its crucial to groove with whatever music one is performing, its a gift we have to share with others so they can forget todays life struggles for just a moment in time.
Mahalo!
