I've been playing guitar forever and have been
aggressively working on bass for the past five years and am now playing
bass almost exclusively. I've played all kinds of stuff from classic rock,
pop, disco, to current and praise and worship. I do
backup vocals and some harmonica. I have an impeccable work ethic,
pro gear and transpo. I have a passion for covering songs in detail
to honor the original performance. Strong sound production and
recording engineering (I
design and build my own speaker systems, know how to run PA, do live
recordings, etc.). I also dabble in web development. I've played
with top bands in Austin, Portland OR, Pittsburgh, Boston, and DC.
The ideal band for me focuses on covers, practices about once a week
and gigs an average of 4 to 6 times a month in the greater Austin
area. I'm willing to do occasional remote gigs (Dallas,
Houston, Corpus). I play because I
enjoy music - not for financial dependency. I'm 53 going on 35 in
excellent shape, a non-smoker and a casual drinker.
