Richard Cleary's Page

About Me:

I'm not a kid. I'm looking for true and eclectic talent to play/record/tour with. I like non mainstream type of music that is complex, melodic, and interesting. I'm an accomplished player (have played for 38 years). I don't care about your age as long as you are good and have a clear vision of what you are doing. I have many electric basses, including an upright, and use SWR and Eden rigs. Will travel and/or record, play live, etc. Looking for eclectic situation(s) with potential. I also have digital and analog recording gear. To check out how I sound, check out my music page at: www.myspace.com/richardcleary1. On the stuff you hear here, I played bass and sang backup vocals. I also produced and engineered the tunes. The songs were written and performed by David Stadalnik and a cast of dozens. I can also play classic rock with a bunch of other old farts if that's what floats your boat. It's the love of music, not the star potential. If I was gonna be famous, it would have happened by now. Enjoy your life.
