SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano, Harmonica.ABOUT
In general, I’m always looking for local players to jam and collaborate with. Open minded. Don’t hesitate to reach out, regardless of style, if you’re looking for a solid bass player (in service of the song and to share in the groove).
More specific:
Bassist in my 40s, seeking to form/join a jam/groove-oriented band that can segue into a variety of styles (be it blues, traditional/Americana, jazz, soul, R&B, funk, reggae, rock, etc.) Looking for players comfortable improvising, don’t mind stretching out and experimenting a bit.
Looking for folks who are serious about music, can prep and play on the regular, but have other commitments to balance too.
Seeking to shed every other week, pulling together 20-30 songs, leading to casual gigging (1-2 per month).
