Rumbling the Foundations
Welcome to the bass department. These days, I am primarily a session bassist for studio and live gigs, jumping in wherever the groove needs solidifying.
My journey on the instrument started way back in 1990 with a cover band called Cops. I actually learned to play from my old school music teacher. He always believed in me, followed my career, and even showed up to my gigs up until a few years ago. That kind of support leaves a mark.
Over the years, I was a founding member of Absinnt, spent almost 25 years playing cover shows with Glenrock, and held down the low end for Ghosther for 8 years. Currently, I’m the official live substitute bassist for Motorjesus, and I occasionally help out the guys in Wolfskull.
