Bass Lessons Indiana

I have been playing since 1998 and have been in several bands from Indianapolis to here in the Michiana area.

Around 2009 I started teaching a few students guitar in the Elkhart Indiana area and with my work schedule had to stop. Since then I have been in several local band projects including a group called Megarush. Read More
