20+ years experience playing bass guitar, in studio, touring, ensemble, and writing capacities. My specialty is fretless bass guitar.My training as a classical musician has instilled on me a sense of discipline and professionalism with how I approach my instrument as well as the people with whom I work. I have played in bands in a number of genres, including indie rock, post punk, avant garde, punk, and jazz. I approach bass with a healthy degree of thoughtfulness, joy, and whimsy, with a real appreciation for the unknown and reverence for the process.Additionally, I have handled booking, press contacts, and other managerial tasks for the various bands in which I've played and have maintained a high standard of proficiency, promptness, and organization.Other skills:5 years training on upright bass, both classical and jazz styles5 years training on violinIf you would like a good laugh, I recommend asking me to play marimba sometime.Outside interests include reading, watching bleak, esoteric films with no real endings, viewing art, and asking questions.
