Band to Join.ABOUT
Multi-instrumentalist, focusing on bass, with percussion sides. Not much of a singer, however wiling to attempt B/Vs.
Band experience, however primarily a church musician (i.e. short "gigs" weekly, 100-140 "audience"). Interested in originals in particular.
How many gig have I played? Define a gig. The figure below doesn't include church, still probably 50+, some as drummer, some as bassist, some as percussionist with a belly dance troupe.
