SEEKING
Vocalist, Acoustic Guitar.ABOUT
30+ years playing bass. Currently doing gigs with ad-hoc line-ups and often zero-rehearsal. But I do have some stable relationships too:
Magic Tortoise: https://www.facebook.com/MagicTortoiseBand
Dingo's Bel: https://www.facebook.com/dingosbel/
Happy to work in a wide range of styles; covers and originals. But I do like discernible melody and interesting harmony/chord progressions, so that rules out a big slab of modern stuff. Haha!
I love doing backing vocals but am still getting the hang of singing at the same time as playing bass. I do a bit of classical choral singing from time to time, so a capella breaks are no problem. :-) Bass voice.
