Mike Hall + Musician in Bloomville, OH

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm looking for some gigs. I can play both kinds of music...country & western...I can read and write both English and Music. I've played all over the USA and parts of Kentucky.

Here's the deal. My brother, Rick, and I were born poor white kids (just like everybody else) in the Appalachian Mountains of Southeastern KY. Our folks moved to Ohio when I was five years old and Rick was three. Somewhere around the age of eight years old we became severely addicted to music. Our father liked bluegrass and country, our mother liked rock and blues music of the day. The one musical style we all agreed upon was the blues.

I'm primarily looking for gigs as a sub bass player, however, I would be interested in certain band situations as well.
