I played guitar and bass. I didn't do much vocals, although I did have one band where I was the lead singer. But that was when I was in college.
In college, I was able to be the vocalist for the jazz band at Arkansas State.
I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.
But yeah, I played bass guitar in high school and in college and then I actually fractured my thumb, so my bass career went bye-bye.
I had been in a band in college. You kind of need to make a choice between going the music route or going the acting route. I chose acting, figuring I could always do the music on my own.
The first band I was in out of college was a Celtic band, and I had to learn to sing with a microphone, because I'd never done that before. At Oberlin, I never used a mic for any kind of singing.
I played in a couple of really crummy bands, including one in the dorm I was in at MIT, for a year or two.
After the Texas Playboys and during that time, I had this band in college that I was in called Thrift Store Cowboys. It was me and a couple other dudes would write the songs.
During my college days, me and a bunch of close friends had formed a small band. We would perform during the college fest and other cultural functions and it used to be so much fun.
