SEEKING

ABOUT

I LOVE playing bass. I also love singing and picking guitar.
I studied jazz bass performance and I am serious about making good music. I can read lead sheets... figured bass takes time. I love challenging instrumentals or laying down a simple groove.

I am serious about playing well and sounding good. You should be too.

I don't drink alcohol or use drugs.

The songs posted do not represent the full scope of my interest or flexibility. I’ve played Funk, Folk, Celtic Rock, R&B and Latin and loved it all. The funkier the better.
