Bio
-
I am currently involved in two projects (Priest Unleashed and Jam Central Station)and post this only if someone is in need of a fill in. I play Fender basses and sing back up vocals. I have excellent equipment (Fender, Ampeg, G K, Line 6). I am a good musician with descent chops, however I know my place and play to serve the song not my ego. I do my utmost best to recreate the song as it was recorded. I feel this is the best way to make the band sound tight.

Experience
- I have played bass guitar since 1975, at which time I began picking up classic rock tunes off KSHE radio. I was drawn to anything that grooved. From boogie stuff like Foghat to dark grooves like Sabbath. I loved it all. Its in my blood and pours out every time I play.
Since 1980, I have played gigs in and around St Louis. Mostly shitholes and dives, but, occasionally I have graced some of the more prominant stages in town, ie; House of Rock, That One Place, BB's Jazz Blues and Soups, Harry's (St Louis), 1860's (ok its a shithole but a prominant one). I am also no stranger to wineries, fairs and festivals, and charity fund raising events.
