ABOUT

Hey There! Kinda new here.

I have been playing for 20 years. I love bass. I've been away from a band situation for some time now due to becoming a dad... then getting divorced. Needless to say the divorce has opened up some free time for me. I love playing live. I love prog rock and acid jazz and things of that nature. I also love the live band electronica thing. I tend to use my bass as a real instrument and not go thud thud thud in the mud mud mud. So if you're looking for a bass player who is content playing root notes, look else where. That said, ... I won't play over your solo, I'm not a douche. As snobby as that made me sound it's the truth. I like to make music with my instrument. I guess that's me, questions? Ask away.
