Bass by nature + Musician in Penticton, BC

SEEKING

ABOUT

November 2024

Hey all!...well experienced bass player here with lead & backing vocals. My past years have included performing & recording with working bands (including my own) all across Ontario. I have played blues, pop, soul, rock, Motown, Top-40, country, indie music and more.

As a way to meet musicians since moving from Ontario to the Okanagan, I am hosting an open jam every Sunday at Bar One in Penticton. This has given me the opportunity to perform with many great performers. I have also been working with various local bands playing at night clubs, festivals & dances, however, I am seeking to play in a band in B.C. where I can call my home. The target is to be performing for corporate gigs, festivals, weddings, clubs & private functions etc. I am also very interested in joining or forming a professional tribute band. Sound interesting??

Until I settle into a full time band commitment, I have been more than happy to fill-in for any type of gig. I'm a quick study, and I give special attention to detail & timing. I am easy going, have a fun attitude, and I like to take a professional attitude towards any project that I am involved with.

Give me a shout & lets chat.
