About Me


Who am I? I still ask that most days. I'm a bass player in Atlanta Georgia. I primarily play 6 string fretted and 5 string fretless bass, though every now and then I play a 4 string to remember what it's like. You can see my basses in the background on this page...well, two of them are mine. The other two belong to another bass player that some of you might be familiar with. As a freelance player I'm fortunate to play with many different bands and musicians. Need bass? Just write! I'm lucky to have many friends and some of them are shown below. Hopefully I'll make many more here!

First of what should be many more posts.

OK everyone has to start somewhere. It's taken a while to get the right type of MySpace account started and set up. Most of what I'll post here will be comments on gigs or other relevant musical items...
