Description

Hoping to meet up with a band or some good people to play with. I have a busy career outside of music so not looking to "make it big". I spent several years in Los Angeles playing around so not aiming for that - - just looking to have fun with some other musicians and eventually play out. I am open to covers and/or original material. Lots of experience playing live and played some of the cool LA Venues - Whisky, Viper Room, The Gig, Good Hurt, The Mint, etc. Willing to play with anyone, but my "peer group" is going to be 35+. I'm open to playing all kinds of things and have been inspired by everything. Some of my favorite acts are RHCP, Janes Addiction, Guns n Roses, Van Halen, QOTSA, Tool, RATM, Metallica, Mastodon, Prince, Massive Attack, Smiths, 80's 90s rock, New wave, funk, metal and punk. Some of my favorite bassists are: Flea, Eric Avery, Nick Oliveri, Sting, Cliff Burton, Rick James, Prince, Ben Shepherd, Justin Chancellor/Paul d'Amour, Tim Commerford. I have pro gear. I sing back-up or lead vox as needed and I like multi-vocalist bands. I can contribute to songwriting and/or compliment songwriters. I'm mostly just looking to have fun with some like-minded people and make some noise on weekends and see where it goes. Mostly hoping that there might be people in similar situation as me that have professional careers but passion for playing and music and want to jam.
