ABOUT

Hey, I'm Neil. Taurus. Bass player/singer-songwriter (he sez).

Short and sweet----I'm trying to become a touring and recording musician, telling stories with some thoughtful, nice, talented, chill, zero ego folks.

Looking to sing and write, and play bass or rhythm guitar in a sort of Drive-By Truckers/Lucero/celtic alt-rock/punk kind of band with some 90s/00s SoCal punk flavour.

Check out the songs, and if you think we'd hit it off, get in touch. It's neilchair on YT and IG.

See you down the road.
- Neil
