Music Lover, Musician, Producer/Engineer, Educator
My Musical Talent/Skills:
Bass, Upright Bass
Do you perform? Highlight venues you have performed:
I have played some keys with a St. Louis funk band Hazard to Ya Booty at Mississippi Nights, the Blue Room in Columbia, MO and the Casa Loma Ballroom in St.Louis. My main thing is bass. I started on electric and got lucky enough to move to upright. I play mostly jazz, read charts and can occasionally fake my way around a piano (its where I started). I play smattering of rhythm guitar, but bass is my main focus. I do some remixing/self-producing. In columbus I have performed with Courtney Jones in a big band setting, Mark Young in a trio setting and sat in on several jam sessions with the Columbus Jazz Society
Do you write original lyrics, melody, both?
