ABOUT

Hi, my name is Matt and I'm a bassist looking for other likeminded musicians or an established band who would be interesting in getting together every week or two, to write and rehearse with the view to playing live on an ongoing or even semi-regular basis.

I'm interested in being part of a relaxed, fun and creative environment. I'm open minded, reliable, a great listener and team player, keen on exploring new musical possibilities and simply doing it for the love of music, and being musically social.

I have a career and family, so while music is hugely important to me, it isn't my number 1 priority. I'd prefer to get together with others in a similar situation, or at least are understanding of the fact.

I'm at a very competent skill level using both fingerstyle and pick. I can let 'er rip when needed, but for the most part not really interested in playing slap or showboating, I'm far more focused on strengthening a rhythm section and playing what best suits the song.

Have recently gotten back into the music scene after a long hiatus and absolutely loving it!
