Are you in need a vocalist / bassist / guitarist / keyboardist for YOUR band or a jam or some studio work? Most folks call me "Jim" or "Swampy", (My given name is James). I am fully Covid vaccinated and boosted. I've been performing professionally since 1965. I play driving bass lines, or keep a snappy rhythm guitar fill going, and I can sing the lead or background. I am currently available should you need an experienced baritone/tenor vocalist and/or bassist, rhythm guitarist, or keyboardist on a temporary or permanent basis or even just to jam or for studio work. My forte is singing lead vocals while playing electric bass and/or rhythm/lead guitar. My repertoire consists of 1,200+ cover songs including a few of my own compositions. My favorite genre consists of Americana (Blues, Classic(Old) & Contemporary Country, Folk, Jazz, South Louisiana Swamp Pop, and Texas Swing). I also perform Bluegrass, Classic Pop, Classic Rock, Classic Soul, Funk, Gospel, Red Dirt, Rock-a-Billy, Rock, Southern Rock, & R & B. If interested, kindly contact me so we can work out time & location details. Let's be honest, since retiring in 2017 I'm bored and really want to be out performing! Thanks, ----- Swampy
