ABOUT

HI All.

Main stage instrument would be bass.
Second is acoustic guitar
Third . Piano if necessary ( but would rather avoid ) unless I can walk onto a stage with a grand piano.

Have mainly played with singer songwriters over the last 15 years with a few paid covers gigs and parties in between.

Am interested in finding a party band with gigs that does easy covers from 1950s to current. Mainly proficient in 60s to 80s rock and top 40. Looking to refresh the set list with more current material.
Not interested in rehearsing for months, just a few rehearsals and ready to gig / party etc.

Can do acoustic duo or trio as well. Can share lead vocals at times but rather leave that to the pros.

Also interested in finding mature christian musicians who are doing something out of the box. ie.. Creative music that could be taken to stages outside of the christian realms.

EQUIPMENT

I have lots of acoustic guitars, basses, amps, and electric piano of high quality. Too much gear to mention as I'm also obsessed with acoustic guitars. ( GAS / guitar aquisition syndrome ) .
