QR Code Link to This Post Experienced Lead Singer, Bassist, and Rhythm Guitarist - My background is in Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Punk, Blues, and Progressive Rock, and Celtic/World music. I am a former member of mainland recording and performing bands Rocinante', Saffire, Social Insects, NuBoys, ÖR, and GenkideSka. I have had different opportunities here in Hawai'i (backing bands, all cover bands, etc. - decent pay but I am not into music for the money) but still have not found what I am looking for. I am open to studio and live situations (preferably both with the same group of musicians). My main focus is to enjoy making music and appreciate getting together with like minded people. Ready to gig when the timing is right. I have a full-time career, so I am looking to do this as a serious side endeavor, hopefully with the same people long term. Seeking mature/seasoned musicians, no flakes, big egos, bad communicators, etc. Not looking for people that only want to jam. Not looking to be part of a "backing band" (been there, done that). The ideal would be a totally collaborative effort between all musicians in the band (writing, singing, etc.), three piece a plus!

Some of the reggae/ska influenced bands I like include: Bob Marley, Black Uhuru, Jimmy Cliff, Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Madness, The Specials, Alton Ellis, Desmond Dekker, Laurel Aitken, The English Beat, Bad Manners, The Pietasters, The Toasters, Hepcat, Bunny Wailer, Toots and The Maytals, Sublime, Long Beach Dub All-stars, Rebelution, Mustard Plug, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Expendables, Stick Figure, Matisyahu, Tribal Seeds, Dirty Heads, The Clash, Dub Trio, Slightly Stoopid, and Pepper.

Some of the Blues/Jazz musicians I like include: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sun House, Mississippi John Hurt, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and Gary Clark Jr.

Other bands/musicians I like include Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Beatles, Brian Setzer, Kings X, A Perfect Circle, Descendents, Morrissey, Bad Religion, Stiff Little Fingers, Descendents, Young Dubliners, Dropkick Murphy's, Royal Blood, Band of Skulls, Stevie Wonder, Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley, The Smiths, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joe Jackson, The Jam, The Pixies, Kasabian, Muse, Rush, R.E.M., Stax Records, Sun Records, and Motown.

I am experienced, have pro equipment. I also have studio experience as a Singer/Bassist/Guitarist and have had two minor recording contracts as a Singer/Songwriter with N*Soul Records (Los Angeles, CA) and Soul Joy Records (Austin, TX).
