My style is jamband oriented, very much influenced by funk, rock, jazz, prog rock, afrobeat, latin, bluegrass, and other stuff.
I love writing music just as much as I love playing it. I've already got plenty of original material to work with. I like writing music that is intricate, fun, fresh, groove-able, and very eclectic. I also like to take those tight songs and jam them out really far, which is where my love for live improvisation comes in. I love taking the live show into places unknown, while still keeping the audience entertained, interested, and hopefully dancing.
I just love music and I'm on Bandmix because I just want people to play with, so please contact me if you like this description or if you like the bands I listed in the Influences section.

Members Of Band
just me, Josh Grossman-guitar
I'd like to have 2 guitars, keyboard, bass, and drums. But I'd love to bring in as many people as I can, even double that.
I've already taught some of my material to a couple people who are already in other bands, and they really like what we're playing, so if I get a couple more people involved, they'll probably join this band too.
EQUIPMENT
nothing too fancy
