ABOUT

I've been playing bass for ~25 years. I play very infrequently in a Jerry Garcia / Grateful Dead cover band based in Ann Arbor. I practice pretty much every day, but I'm itching to find others to play with more frequently and closer to home. I'm open to just casual jamming or playing out. I've played gigs at bars and neighborhood gatherings and am comfortable with that. I can provide some backing vocals.

While I love J. Garcia and GD, that's only one kind of music I'm into.
Styles I'm open to playing: rock, hard rock, reggae, alternative, indie, psychedelic, ambient, experimental, art, jam, prog
Styles I'm not interested in: metal, country, christian, punk, funk

I have some bass and drum demos of original song ideas on sound cloud. Search for a playlist called Thought Polish
