Hire me to play bass
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2006 1:20 am
Okay, here's the deal, I'm in school full-time and working a lousy job until I finish my degree in September. Meanwhile, my lovely wife, whom I adore, used to have a pretty decent job, but has had to have 2 spinal fusions in the past 2 years and has been on disability (private disability insurance - I'm a Libertarian 
). Well, her disability ended in February, and now she has a 2 year gap in her work history while she was on disability, so no one will hire her - despite the fact that she finished a year of graduate school in great pain and on heavy medication, which greatly affected her learning and memorization skills...
Anyway, we are in serious trouble financially right now and I need to make some extra money the only way I really know how - by playing bass. I prefer r&b/jazz/funk/gospel/etc..., but also enjoy playing rock, country, pop, whatever...
I will take live or studio work any night of the week - except Sunday and Monday nights. Not joining anybody's band though - I've got my own, North River Agents, which I love - we're just not making any money right now. I need paying gigs. Fill in, temporary, one night stand, whatever. As long as it's a paying gig - at least $50, more if I have to drive very far, and I'd really like to make about $100 a night.
I read well, and improvise well, but prefer working with chord chart/lead sheets for these type of casual gigs. I don't drink or do any drugs, nor do I smoke. I show up on time and play the bass part - no unnecessary chops from me! I've been told I have great time and great feel, and am easy to work with. I bring one fretted 5-string bass and a professional preamp to go straight to the board, or if you prefer I can rent a cabinet - extra cost to cover rental fees though. Please email me - bradjones_bass@yahoo.com if you have work in Northeast Indiana or Northwest Ohio - even Southwest Michigan, or know somebody who might.
That's all. Thank you for your time.
