I'm a bass player/background singer. Currently playing with a group (bass, drums, 1 or 2 guitars) that does unpopular covers like REM, Uncle Tupelo, Bo Ramsey, V-Roys, etc. - basically alternative country crossed with '80s/'90s college rock. We play for fun, not profit. We'd love to find a lead guitarist, or someone who could add multiple instruments (steel, keys, whatever). I'm also personally open to any other potential collaborations, including other genres that aren't already too overdone (see my influences). My job and family are priority one, but I'd love to do the occasional gig. Contact me at atinder (at) gvc (dot) edu or 515-979-2897.

Influences:

Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Honeydogs, Richmond Fontaine, Drag the River, any and all alt-country, Buffalo Tom, Bob Mould, Archers of Loaf, Crooked Fingers, Superchunk, Oxford Collapse, Hank Williams (Sr.), Sufjan Stevens, The National.......(basically insurgent country and indie rock - no radio country or corporate stuff)

Equipment List:

a few basses and a big amp; also have PA gear, mics, etc. with the band.
