Who are these people and what do they want? (Continued)

Tim Boomer founded OFFBEATS in 1986 and is one of the primary composers of OFFBEATS music. An East Bay native, he has played in numerous local bands. His influences run from Latin-Jazz and Afro-Cuban to Rock 'n' Ska. His bass playing combines melodic phrasing with deep grooves and percussive punctuation. Previously with Taxi (featuring Charles de la Casa, Robert Rios, and Dennis Seacrest), Tim now plays in 5 or more bands such as Who Too (The Who tribute), Forbidden City (Original Rock and Jazz), Jazz Trek (Jazz Standards) Joti (Original Rock and Soul), and Kiss the Sky (Jimi Hendrix tribute) many of which he shares with Mick Berry. He is also working on a book with Mick Berry tentatively titled 'The Bassist's Bible."
