ABOUT

Bass player seeks making the jump to guitar, packs the gear to make the journey. No interest in metal or any country later than 1995. Not much of a singer but would be willing to give it the old college try if necessary. More of a lead/rhythm hybrid than strictly one or the other, so if you’re looking to expand into a two-guitar band could be the guy that you want. Has songs written but is also a quick learner. Also lives in a house with a basement with a perfectly-sized alcove (provided you’re under 6’4”) to set up a practice space if you’re looking for that. 20-plus year vet of playing live shows in multiple states. As stated at the top, more than capable of playing bass, but already does that elsewhere and feels a need to justify owning all these friggin guitars! Duo, trio, quartet, whatever the fancy word for five-piece, he’s here for it! Except for metal (there’s enough metal bands in Casper as it is. Not that he doesn’t enjoy it, he just doesn’t want to play it) or new country (because it’s just terrible).
