I’m a bass player in an independent Chicago-based band called Family Groove Company. We’ve released 4 full-length albums and have played over 800 shows in 34 states, all with no record label or big-name booking agency. My favorite part about being a musician are the connections I make, whether it be in writing sessions with my longtime bandmates, improvisational performances with musicians I’ve never played with before, or interactions with fans at live shows.
