I enjoy performing music in a variety of different settings, both as a group leader and as a sideman. I try to be as versatile as possible. Although my specialty is Jazz on the Acoustic Bass, I’m frequently hired to perform on the Electric Bass as well, in the context of Pop, CCM, Top 40, and other similar genres. I’m equally at home on both instruments, whether I’m reading down charts for a show, playing tunes by memory, improvising, or collaborating with songwriters. In a typical year, I perform everything from formal concerts to background music at events.
Please contact me if you need to hire a sideman for your project or a group leader to assemble a band for a performance or event. I would love to conduct business in either context! If I can’t provide what you’re looking for, I can likely recommend a highly qualified colleague.
You can always contact me directly, but I also book gigs through Gig Salad, when a more formal agreement is desired:
