SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a 58 year old amateur, yet committed bass guitarist, lead and back-up singer. I have a regular job, but would really like to have some live performances on weekends to have some pocket change, while doing something that I am passionate about. I have been a member of several bands over the years, including 'The Fairest & Best', 'Infrared', 'Coconut Club Band', 'Steelbandits', 'Soniks', 'Maestre & Friends', 'Vision of Love 2000', Neu Jenerashun', 'St. O'. I have performed genres such as Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Pop, Jazz, Christian Contemporary, Rock, Classic Rock, Classical. I am also a certified Recording Engineer and Producer. I have a small home studio called 'Colibri Studios'. I create backing tracks for my clients, for my choir at church, as well as for stand-alone gigs for my partner and me. I use Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Cubase to create my tracks. Would love to just get together and jam, and see what happens. You can reach me at gerrywilliams91 at g mail dot....
