ABOUT

ABOUT ME: Experienced, reliable, and responsible bass player with decent gear and good work ethic. Relocated to WA from Texas for work in 2022. College educated professional with a flexible day job (primarily WFH), married, no kids in the house. Mid 50s, decent health, good sense of humor, moderate drinker, non-smoker, no drugs. Centrally located NOR with reliable vehicle.

CAPABILITIES: 30+ years experience primarily playing in original metal/hard rock/pop-punk bands as well as blues and classic rock cover bands. Lots of stage experience - no problem getting up in front of a crowd. I've sang lead before (generally acceptable but not great) and I can handle most backup vocals. I've also done heaps of karaoke back in the states and am comfortable singing in front of a bunch of strangers. I've recorded with several of my previous bands bands and released a handful of albums, and I've done a bit of studio work for other musicians. I'm currently working with an established original rock band located in Perth, but am open to other band-related opportunities.

OBJECTIVE: Looking to get into an established cover band - rock, pop, blues, funk, r&b... not particularly picky about the genre, as long as it's something people want to hear. I am always interested in networking and potentially getting into one-off jams and/or sub work.

Thanks for reading.
