What to expect

I can be as laid back or as outgoing as the band I am playing with requires. I love to move and dance while playing. I can also go wireless and work the audience. I do not overplay. Expect a nice solid groove, with the band, as if I've been playing with you for years. Occasional enhancements to spice things up a bit....that's what I do. Whatever it takes to make your gig happen is what I'll do.
You can expect no Ego, no Drugs, no Alcohol. The music is what I feed off of.
If you need a bassist for a Gospel concert, that's where my roots are. No problem at all.

About

I am actually a song writer that happens to play a few different instruments. I have been playing bass guitar since I was 12 years old. As I have gotten older, I have played with various bands, choirs, Jazz ensembles, club bands and numerous wedding and corporate party bands/agencies. Over the years I have incorporated the bass synthesizer, to address today's current music demands. I can switch from bass guitar to synth in a second, to keep music flowing. I have played with many super musicians and singers and I fully understand the importance of being punctual and prepared, with good transportation. Most importantly, I have an extensive song vocabulary, most of which I can handle on the fly. Charts are not a problem.
