I'm an upright/electric bassist living & gigging in Boston, currently with three groups, whose links, along with my own, are below.
Born in New Jersey, moved to North Carolina when I was eight & spent the rest of my formative years there, moving to Boston for the climate (hah!) and Berklee. Just finishing up there this spring & summer after 5 years (part-time studentship will do that), but it's been a blast. Love to travel, but I have neither a job that sends me places, nor the money to take off myself. And that whole bit about being in a bunch of bands tends to tie one to a specific place. I've been with family before, but I suppose I'll have to go at some point & run around in Europe on my own (love it over there, all of it is such a magnificent place.)
I'm always up for playing new tunes, I'm on a number of local & regional recordings, and I'm generally a Nice Guy™, so say hey!
