I am a Nashville-based bass player that has played on several platinum albums and singles as well as Grammy and Emmy winning songs. You might have heard me on a country song like Girl Crush or Pontoon by Little Big Town or on a singer-songwriter song by Matt Nathanson or Juliana Hatfield. I love my job, and I hope that it is evident in my playing.

I just got my stems back and WOW, John put me to tears. He took my song to another level and this is what music is all about. When you can touch someone and capture the essence of the song. Bravo! My go-to bass player! THANK YOU!

Got to work with John again and he is always such a pro to work with. He can deliver takes that fit perfectly in the pocket or he can color outside the lines to bring some creativity to your project. He's also incredibly easy to work with. Highly recommended.
