B-Side Andy + Musician in Toronto, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

I used to play in a rock cover band from around 1980-1990.
About a year pre-covid a couple of former band mates called me up and I started jamming with the goal of playing a few gigs a year. Covid shut that down but we're active again.
I'm not strong technically but I figure stuff out pretty well and keep things humming along.

Influences

I like Alt-rock, a little classic rock, funk, R&B and Ska.
I like to mix things up and not get boring or too bogged down by all classic rock. I love cross-over music that mixes genres.

Stones, Who, Black Crowes, Clash, Bowie, Steely Dan, Tom Petty, Foo Fighters Big Sugar, Matthew Sweet, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Wilco, Ben Folds, Cake, G. Love, Pete Yorn, Grateful Dead, Anderson .Paak, Beastie Boys, Run D.M.C., Gorillaz, Parliament, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley

EQUIPMENT

Got my bass - Ibanez SR500
a 40 watt Rumble Studio with onboard effects that I'm still figuring out. It's fine for practice and rehearsal but I would rent a better amp for gigs or patch it through a PA
