Musical Services
These days, my primary instrument is electric bass, but I also play cello and electric upright piccolo bass.
The sound in my head is decidedly old school, somewhere between Bach and Brook Benton. Steely Dan is my mantra music. I'm partial to flatwound strings, high-fidelity amps, well-aligned rhythms, and supporting acoustic ensembles.
While I was in California, I was a member of The Klezmakers. Our CD, Garage Waltz, is available on iTunes and CD Baby.
I'm always looking for more gigging opportunities. Drop me an email at conrad@sagebrushgroup.com.
