ABOUT
Born a Yank, lived in Australia since 2005.
Self employed, so daytime rehearsals are possible. Good with children, don't mind family interruptions. Best evenings Monday, Tuesday, Friday. I practice with a group regularly on Thursday. Weekend arvos possible for rehearsals if planned ahead.
I have a small studio, can host 1 - 2 others regularly with social distancing, 3 or 4 on occasion. Can record practices and share files. Will travel up to 60 minutes from Truro SA (northern Barossa hills) to make a connection.
Here's a proposal if you are a singer or instrumentalist with material in hand--send me a file and I will lay a bass track on it and send it back. We can check each other out before committing to travel.
Looking to join up with a singer or singers. Open to any instrumentation, most experience playing with guitars and drums. Can read a chart, reasonably quick learner, keen to explore.
Covers are fine, would love to help write originals, any genre.
