Bass
VOCALS
Fr
As far back as Earl can remember, music has been a major part of his life. Raised in
San Bernardino, Ca. a piano was always in the home. And due to his father’s influence,
being a professional jazz pianist, Earl started taking classical piano lessons at age 6,
and after 5 years of private lessons was leading the church he attended in praise songs
at the piano. By age 13, with the advent of the 60’s musical explosion, Earl became
more interested in playing electric guitar, and later electric bass. From his mid teens he
has played in various bands, playing either bass, his primary instrument of choice, or
guitar. He would also teach on the side and at present has been a member of the
teaching staff at Music Unlimited in San Leandro since 2004. His musical journey
peaked in the mid 80’s when he co-founded the jazz fusion band Tag, which was
signed and released an album that was aired and well received in the bay area.
“I’m very excited about being the newest member of the Blues Bottle Band and am
looking forward to a lot of great music with these cool and seasoned guys.”
Recent band activity:
JJazz band 2005-2006
Dave Matthews blues band 2003-2005
Bill Ireton blues band 2002-2004
Big Kid Jazz band 1998-2002
