Band to Join.ABOUT
Grad student at UNC (not in music). I'm always flirting with going semi-professional, because I think I'm plenty good enough. But selective ADHD and other life have always kept me away from it. I still manage to play at least once a day because I want and need to. I wouldn't mind finding some band to 'apprentice' under or be backup for.
For better or worse, I really don't have time for much else but to do this for fun right now. I really don't see how I could gig regularly, though I'd make some classic rock or americana alt country band a great bassist. But I really miss not playing regularly with other people, and really think I need that to keep growing musically.
