Band to Join.

ABOUT

I'm just a guy who wants to play bass. I'm not a guitar player who plays bass because he has to. I "want" to. Been playing for about 40 years. I'm a little gray, a little balding and a little ugly but I can play, I can sing, and still look good on stage.

Years of experience on the road in North America and in Europe. Played on hundreds and hundreds of stages big and small. My last band toured a TON. Sadly that's now wrapped up after a couple of decades.

Looking for a new fun situation! I learn quickly and have a creative style. I have a job that affords me the freedom for touring, am available for studio and one off gigs as well. Give me a shout!
