Pete Charuk I am an experienced Bassist and Singer with exceptional Improvisational Skills

I require a good safe power supply if using one of my own Amps, and if using a Backline House supplied Amp prefer Amps with power and reliability. Amps by SWR, Ampeg, Fender, Mark Bass and Galien Kruger are what I am use to and prefer to use in Live performance situations, and in Studio. I have many Basses to choose from and decide which Basses to bring depending on the Venue and Artist.

What time the Act is to start and stop for the Event, and do I or we get a Sound Check?

I can provide a 2150 watt PA system with 2 Main and 2 Monitor Speakers and a Bass Amp to fit any Gig, I own 5 Bass Amps and Speaker System of varying Wattages and Speaker Configurations for great Bass Sound weather in a Coffee Shop or Concert Hall.

No, I am a Single Freelance Bassist and Singer

A sold out McEwan Hall warming up for The Pursuit of Happiness when a Member of The Quitters in 1991. I also played with The Quitters at a sold out charity event at McEwan Hall, the 1991 Rock Against Racism Benefit Gig. I estimate 2200 people attended each of those Gigs.

Rock and Roll and Blues Concert Events.

750 Gigs with local Calgary Bands as well as about 10 Albums having recorded on with said Bands. My first Pro Gig was at Calgary's first Original music Venue of any note "Ten Foot Henrys" as part of a 50s and Rockabilly Cover band "The G Notes". In The Quitters we warmed up for Green Day in 1990 and The Pursuit of Happiness at McEwan Hall in 1991. As part of Ralph Boyd Johnson and The Ruckus I was able to warm up for The Jeff Healey Band twice, once in Calgary, and once in Edmonton. We were also able to warm up for Matthew Goode at The University of Calgary's Blue Banana Lounge in 1998.

Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Collective Soul. Nine Inch Nails, Metric, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and also Jazz and Blues Greats from the 20th and 21st century. I think the Greatest Song of all time is "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. It has all the Hallmarks of a Masterpiece of composition and performance. It started my love of Rock Music at age 12.

At most Venues I have played in Cover Bands in want 3 45 minutes Sets to be played throughout the night, starting at 9PM and ending at 1AM. That is what I am use to. As far as Recording goes I can be almost anywhere anytime.

Yes, I love to perform outside

Usually the repertoire list only but I do know many songs and have been in many situations were requests were required. In those situations I was able to make it through those

You are one of the best Bass Players I have ever seen, is a frequent and appreciated comment. You are a very solid and tight, and fast Bassist, and you sing with Passion and near perfect Pitch.

Halloween 1991 as the Headlining Act, as part of a 3 Band Bill, at The Night Gallery in Calgary while Bassist for The Quitters. The Venue was sold out with a long line of people dressed for Halloween down the long staircase at The Night Gallery & down the Sidewalk outside the Venue. I would estimate about 400 people had made it into the Venue by the time the Calgary Police Service raided the Venue for Over Capacity & Noise Violations & think that occurred about 2;00 AM. When the CPS asked the Bartender "where the Owner of the Club was ?" , he was on stage with The Quitters Singing some of the silliest songs Rock has to offer. Songs such as "Hang On Sloopy". "Louie Louie" and "Whooly Bully", come to mind. The Quitters all had dressed in stellar Costumes for Halloween including, a Vampire, Bride of Frankenstein, a Prison Convict with Striped Suit and Hat, and The Blues Brothers. The Club Owner was dressed as Uncle Sam for his time up on Stage with the Band, I laugh about it now!
