Bassist seeks working band

Woodlyn PA

Description

I’m a 52-year-old bass guitarist with 35 years of experience who has retired early from a career in academia to focus on music full time. I would like to join a working band in just about any genre that plays a paying gig at least once or twice a month. I have excellent gear and a good work ethic. Most of my experience has been playing classic rock, pop-rock, and indie/alternative rock. I am interested in playing pop, dance, disco, R&B, country—whatever gets the job done and entertains an audience. Obviously, most working bands that make money are cover bands, but I’d be interested in working with an original band too if there are good prospects. Since this seems to matter, I am in excellent health and great physical shape. I have years of experience being a front man so I have some stage presence. I am not interested in fronting a band, however; I just want to be the bassist. (I will front a few songs if necessary just to relieve the other singers.) I play with one other group that practices once a week but that has no gigs booked. And I have an original music project that no longer plays out and only makes records. So, I have plenty of time to learn your repertoire!
