I guess I was about 10 and I played my clarinet downtown atlanta... but other than that none. I have recorded some though... I hope to get a bass amp soon and start giging  I'm 25 now.. about time... |

The first band I was in played for my high school variety show. It was a lot of fun, and probably sounded pretty bad.  |

In front of an audience it was a few years back... 2007. I would have been 14 and I didn't even know how to play bass then... Or any instrument. I did alright though. |

My second gig was the local Moose hall. Figured I had seen both ends of the spectrum at that point. I was almost right.

| | | | I was 15 or 16, and it was drumming. I've yet to gig with bass. |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I used to sing at church from the time I was 9 or 10. Not just choir stuff, but solo as well.
I guess my first paying gig must have been when I was around 23 or 24. I played bass in basements and garages for maybe 10 years before that.

But the "first time playing in front of an audience" was probably a piano recital when I was 7 . . . |
