SEEKING
Band to Join, Drums, Keyboard, Piano.ABOUT
Experienced electric/upright bassist available for session work, gig fill-ins, and/or willing to talk about joining the right band.
Easy to get along with, and can fill any role from simply coming to play the parts I’m given, all the way to helping write/produce new material.
Able to read music and chord charts, but was originally self-taught so my ear is certainly capable of getting me through unfamiliar music.
Send me a message and let’s make some music.
