About Me
Bass player, singer-guitarist, Beat or Beatnik musician-type of the '62 - '66 school, interested in many things, a number of which are outside of music. I live in Brooklyn, New York.I play the bass-guitar and upright bass semi-professionally, to a high standard, accompanying others, in multiple genres. Pop, "vintage" R&B, some Jazz, a little C&W, music of the Cold War era...and the latest in singer/songriter-dom. I'd be happy enough playing altogether-ly as a professional. Maybe that's happening now. Alana Amram is keeping me busy.I accompany my own voice with an acoustic twelve-string guitar singing romantic ballads of the garage band era, etcetera, performing at least once or twice a month.I've acquired a lot of useless knowledge, and love to share it. Especially over a cappuccino or what-have-you.I have just been on a junket involving three gigs with one of my old bands, a trio called the Nashville Ramblers. We played at the Jalopy Theatre in Brooklyn, The Casbah in San Diego, and the Echo on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles.I have a new gig as the new default bassplayer with Alana Amram & the Rough Gems. Our next big gig is April 23rd '09 at Arlene Grocery (on the Lower East Side of Manhattan).
