SEEKING

ABOUT

I have been playing bass for 30+ years, and drums for over 20 years, with experience playing in both cover and originals bands. I have been fortunate to play with many talented local artists, having played in numerous regional bars/clubs and festivals, as well as doing studio recording.

I have been the bassist (or drummer as needed) for Irish/Celtic rock group Kilrush since 2011.

My musical styles and interests are varied, including rock, blues, Irish/celtic, metal, ska, reggae, and funk.

Influences

Too many influences to name them all, ranging from Flea to Fieldy,.. from Geezer Butler to Cliff Burton,.. from John Paul Jones to Paul McCartney.

I am always amazed by the wizards such as Jaco Pastorius, Les Claypool and Victor Wooten, and hope that I can one day reach one tenth of their level of play.

EQUIPMENT

Four 4 & 5 string basses, fretless, etc. I would love to someday own and learn to play upright bass.

Practice amps of various sizes and power; My gigging rig is an Ampeg with a SWR 1x15 & 2x10 cabinets. I also have a vintage Kustom 200 2x15 rig with original 60's tuck n' roll upholstery. Effects that don't get much practical use, and a Hartke boost preamp pedal that comes in handy when I want good dirty crunchy sound for playing heavier stuff.
