I'm an electric/acoustic uprite bassist currently living in Nashville, Tn. I relocated to Nashville (from NYC) about 5 years ago and it's easy to see why so many guys sort of re-start their careers here in Nashville. Some of the best musicians I've ever worked with and heard, live here. It's definatley the place to "kick ass and get your ass kicked" so it's been a great learning/networking experience.
I enjoy being involved and active in a lot of different styles of music. I've been doing some tour stuff, but mainly sessions, musical theater and an occasional symphony date. It's always been a thing with me to play stuff that is at opposite ends of the scale from one another and hopefully become a better musician because of it (or at least not get killed trying). I also just really love the whole learning process of doing alot of different styles of music.
I've had the pleasure of performing and/or recording with Steve Azar, Buddy Jewell, Dan Tyminski, James House, Ray Scott, Julie Roberts, Larry Stewart, Colt Ford, Johnny Hiland, Don Ellis, Michelle Cupit, Jerry Cupit, Billy Yates, Jimmy Fortune, Alan O'Day, Nashville Session Players/Rich Aberdeen, Denny Martin, Carlton Collins, Peter Collins, Justin Niebank, Ben Fowler, Phil Wolfe, Michael Hanson, Chad Wilson, Memarie, Brad and Shelly, The Utica, Saratoga, Albany and Palm Beach Symphony Orchestras as well as others. I have also played bass on commercial jingles such as Harley Davidson, Lithia Motors, Exxon Mobiles "On the Run" the soundtrack to the film "Americanizing Shelly" and the TV documentary "Second Crossing-The Story of the Mississippi Bridge".
I'm available for all sorts of sessions & gigs. Drop me an e-mail or call 615 830 6739. Thanks and all the best to you!
Thanks man I really appreciate it! I recorded it last night. I dont consider myself much of a guitar player but keeping it simple on that tune really seemed to work. We need to get together sometime and eat a bite or drink a beer.
HA! And you thought the Nun Bun was nifty. Y'might not be able to actually eat the Blessed Wall O' Loon, but it won't get all moldy in the middle of the tourist season.
Thanks bro..... It's always a pleasure to see you and hear you play. Look forward to doin' it again next time. Peace and God Bless............ "G"..........
