ABOUT

I am looking to start freelancing my abilities. A couple of my past bands include Butterfinger and Vacation on Mars. I have played bass for about twenty years and have shared the stage with many acomplished musicians. I have cataloged about 30 original songs (actully prefered over covers) but am not afraid to learn someone elses. I bring professionalism to the stage and groove to the music. That being said I am a humble person and work well with others to bring an element of fun and attraction to the music and show.

Influences

I am influenced by just about everything that I listen to or watch, I try to keep an open mind to new and original sounds. I have played country, rock, blues, reggae and jazz on stage and a little hip hop or rap but only in the practice room. I am heavily influenced by people who venture out of the realm and don't put borders around themselves. People like Jimmy Hendricks, Bob Marley, and of course Stevie Ray Vaughn but he's just great anyway. Not influenced by their styles but for what they did for music....pioneers. I would also be interested in an acoustic rock show if anyone would like to do the same(you know groovy but energetic?)
