About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor



I was born a long, long (not that long!) time ago, on a grassy plain far, far away. Where Ford trucks and groundhogs are free to roam the earth...that is, until gas prices go up again and it will just be groundhogs.
Seriously , though, I'm a freelance Bassist and Composer playing mainly upon the largest cruise ships in the world for Royal Caribbean , Princess , and Norwegian cruise lines. Come visit me sometime, I'll buy the first round!
The Navigator of the Seas plays "Actual Proof" (H.Hancock)

Navigator of the Seas plays "The Necessary Blonde" (G.Willis)

Here's an old promotional video of my former band, The Stingrays in 2008.

Here's a video of me playing classical double bass with Andrew Bishop in 1995.

Carter Albrecht 1973-2007 RIP.

My sincerest condolences go out to the family and friends of my old Derby High School mate, Carter Albrecht. Unbelievable that such a talent has left for a better place this soon.
