SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Originally from the east coast, I just moved to Ottawa after spending the winter in Tennessee. I'm a mean hillbilly slapper looking to join a SERIOUS band who has, or plans on recording followed by touring. With the upright the type of music I'd like to play would be rockabilly, hillbilly, bluegrass, psychobilly (though it must groove), hellbilly, surfbilly, etc.
I also play the electric bass and would be up for some cowpunk, americana, roots, or even blues.
I've played bars, arena's, festivals, to playing Broadway in Nashville to sharing the stage with Elvis' long time drummer DJ Fontana. I've also recorded on a half dozen albums.
I'm not married, no kids, and no pets - the only thing I own besides my bass is a 1978 Chevy Van and that's even for sale... so I'm ready for the road!
