DavyAbram + Musician in Surrey, EN

ABOUT

I'm looking for a band, singer/songwriters or musicians to work on and perform high-quality, compelling music.

I'm a very experienced bass player with a pro attitude, an ability to lay down a groove and a good ear for harmony. My background is quite broad, and includes blues, rock, pop, Americana and acoustic/electric folk - I've also worked extensively with singer-songwriters, working on arrangements, gigging and recording.

I'm primarily a bass guitarist. but also play acoustic upright bass. I'm also learning the mandolin, although, tragically, I'm still at the Copperhead Road stage.

I'm pretty flexible in terms of time - can rehearse, gig or tour. I'm not necessarily looking to make a living out of music in the short-term, so it doesn't need to be a paying proposition from day one.

The audio tracks are a few bits and pieces recorded during the last ten years, the most recent first.
