SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Looking for more bands to join as bassist, currently in one band about to start gigging as vocalist and one on hiatus as bassist.
Been playing bass for about 8 years now, professionally for 5. Before that, I played violin and sang in choirs from early in school. Picked up guitar and banjo along the way but prefer playing bass in band context (I’m open to playing other instruments though).
Bands I’ve played in so far have varied, most gigging experience was in Gypsy Jazz band and busking but also been involved with bands playing genres spanning Classic Rock, Alternative Rock, Blues, Noise Rock, Post-Rock, Punk, RnB, Neo-Soul and Funk. Happy to either be in bands like these or try something new as well!
