ABOUT
I have played in original bands since aged 15, some fairly successful, touring the country, studio and radio work. Currently playing in a Newark covers band. Excellent bunch of experienced musicians (guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, female vocals).
I am a versatile bassist able to play pretty much most things. My preference is anything with a groove, where the rhythm section drive the melody and song. Anything that's enjoyable and fun to both play and for the audience.
Available for dep work. Prepared to travel for the right band. I am available to rehearse and gig pretty much any time day or night.
