About Me:
I'm the bass player for Bobby Hawkins & The Blues Train as well as The RumpShakers project. I also sit in with different bands and musicians for gigs and open stages including Dave Yoho's YinZide Out shows.

I have played bass as an amatur and professionally for 30 some odd years in New York and Pennsylvania. A wonderful guitarist now living in Ireland, Rick Harris, is responsible for getting me into playing the bass. So it is his fault.

I play blues, funk and R&B, also, recently rediscovered my love of 60s & 70s blues rock power trios, Cream, Johnny Winters, Mountain, Rory Gallagher, James Gang, Grand Funk, Robin Trower, probably more that I forgot...) The Golden Age of Blues Rock if you will.

    Welcome Keith,

    I may have heard you play. Jazz and blues are really the same music but the journalists have made it seem otherwise. I play with the Blues Orphans and have my own blues band called "Blue to the Bone." I may consider changing it to "Blew to the Bone." :-) I'm sure you have many friends here already and will make many more and pick up some new fans in the process.
