As an experienced bass player in a variety of settings, I know the most important thing is to show up prepared. However, it’s also a benefit to fit into the setting visually and engage the audience at an appropriate level. With my previous experience, you can feel comfortable and confident that if you hire me, I’ll deliver to your expectations.
I started playing music early in life. I was influenced by my father and grandfather to learn the bass guitar. We played as the “Three Generations” at the local mall playing bluegrass and country music. In high school I was in the jazz band and won best bass player at the district jazz band competition. I went on to play in several cover bands, original bands, and wedding bands over the years. I’ve played at church for decades and enjoy playing on the weekends with various bands and friends. If I can support your project, it would be the thrill of my day!
As an electric bass player, my equipment requires electricity. Beyond that I have all professional gear, including amplifiers battle boards, and a variety of basses to choose from.
Paul McCartney/ Beatles
Jaco Pastorius/Weather Report
Chris Squire/Yes
Geddy Lee/Rush
And so many more!
I own and will provide all equipment necessary for services rendered. However, if you have a specific bass guitar, amplifier, or puddles, I’ll be happy to use them based on your preferences.
