Bass player available/interested in joining an original band

Cincinnati OH

Description

Hi, I'm fairly new to the area and am interested in joining a band (but I'm also open to starting something new). I was a professional touring musician for a number of years but am mostly interested in doing local/regional shows and the occasional tour rather than a full time gig. I'm most interested in playing rock, punk, or new wave/synthpop but I'm pretty open to many genres. Some of my favorite artists include the Ramones, The Cure, Shonen Knife, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and CHVRCHES (shared the stage with most of these acts too). I'm mostly a bass player but could also play guitar/synth and do some BGVs as well. I have some experience behind a mixing board as an engineer and producer as well. Many audio & video samples of work available on request. I've played over 1,500 shows across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. I have a ton of pro gear for both stage and studio and I have endorsement deals with about 20 music companies. I also have many great relationships with labels (indie + major), booking agents, publicists, etc. especially since I'm a regular headliner/speaker at SXSW, CD Baby's DIY Musician Con, Music Biz and work consult with many artists/labels. More than anything, I just want to have fun playing good music with nice people. If you've got a project and want to do something, would love to hear what you have going on.
