Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
Electric and Upright Bass and Tuba Player Backing Vocals
30 years experience - approx 2000 plus live gigs.
I have played most every style of music at least once during that time. My favorites to play are Rock esp Blues based, R&B, Jazz in particular Big Band stuff, Heavy Metal, the new style of Country often has some cool Bass in it, and Concert Band and Brass and Wind Ensembles.
I am looking to find regular steady gigs with a working band or bands. I am willing to go on the road and my gear and passport are in order.

Influences
When asked about influences I always say Rocco, Jaco, and Billy. Nobody plays grooves like Rocco Prestia, it's pretty hard to find a flashier player or one with more impeccable technique than Billy Sheehan, and if anyone was the real deal it was Jaco.
Another huge influence is a very underrated Canadian bass player Spider Sinnaeve. Geezer Butler, Dave Young, and Skip Beckwith.
