A mainstay of the New York City jazz/Latin/studio scene since the early 1980s, Goines' career includes performance credits as sideman to Sonny Rollins, Paquito D'Rivera, Michel Camilo, Mike Stern, and Carly Simon. He is also an educator and author, having written "Funkifying The Clave: Afro-Cuban Grooves for Bass and Drums” with drummer Robby Ameen/Alfred Publishing 1996.[1]

Goines attended high school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where he studied double bass with a former principal bassist of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Keats. During this period of his development he also had lessons with Eddie Gómez and Gary Karr.

Goines' performance/touring credits include three decades as bassist for Latin jazz flutist and bandleader Dave Valentin, and a 20-year tenure with guitarist Mike Stern.
