Marissa Gomez and the Ghosts of Echo Park have been developing material and an audience for sometime.  It was fun to help them by filling in on the bass chair temporarily.  The 1st recording of this band is coming out soon. I really like their sound. What a great night.

It was great fun to share the evening with Marissa Gomez and the Ghosts of Echo Park on our anniversary 4/4/15.  I played bass. Joe played camera! Funds were raised so the bands debut album will be great.

Marissa is a wonderful singer and songwriter.  I'm glad she thinks my bass playing is sassy.
