Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Background Singer, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Lead Guitar, Piano, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
My name is E. J. Harpo and I just ended a 1 1/2 year relationship with the band "Riverside" aka "The Riverside Blues Band". I was part of the Chicago Blues scene in the 60's and 70's. I put together very successful bands in Chicago opening for the likes of Wilson Pickett, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jay & The Americans, and many others. I've worked with people like Sammy Lay of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Tommy Shaw of Styx, Bill Lamphere, (Madonna's bass player for her "Like A Virgin" tour),and Cheap Trick's Bun E. Carlos. I'm a PROFESSIONAL. I'm looking for a band that can cook and needs another vocalist. I've got booking contacts and can find work for the right group. If you can play and have interest, call me at 239-561-2460.
