I want to invite Los Angeles area bassist in this forum to come out and see this band. We have been recording a CD but this is our first live gig and I am excited about the sound of this band. This is an original project and there are some great tunes in our set. Rob Hayes (guitar/leader) and I met at Musicians Institute 21 years ago and have been buddies ever since. Rob has written and/or produced music for TV and commercials for years and has previously releases on the "Voice Of The Guitar" series of CD's. The other band members are Mark Goldstein (Keys), Mark Schmidt (vibes), Frank Patallo (Drums), and me playing electric and upright. Here is a flyer for the gig:
