I'm looking for musicians in the Polk County area to write and perform in a variety of music styles. My ideal scenario is a dynamic band with multi-talented vocalists that can play their instruments well and sing simultaneously. I am a huge fan of multi-part harmonies. Influences include, most notably, The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Robert Earl Keen, Jackie Greene, Ben Folds, etc. I'd like to form a folk-rock base with few limits for exploration. My ideal line-up is myself on rhythm guitar and vocals (occasionally a piano song or two), with a talented but simplistic lead guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, and drummer. The more instruments you play, the better and more dynamic we can be. Though my general intent is to be front-man, I have no problem sharing the vocals and playing backup on good songs that you'd like to sing yourself. I'm looking for musicians who are not egotistical, have a passion for good music, and whose main concern is the overall sound of the BAND, not the immediate recognition of themselves. Anyone interested should definitely know their instrument(s) very well and be able to play by ear. I'm not interested in having to explain every song down to the note in order for you to play it. In essence, I'm looking for songwriters to collaborate with. You can hear a few examples of my solo sound by visiting www.myspace.com/justingrimes. I wrote, played, and sang all of the music you'll hear. I'd prefer anyone who contacts me have some sort of material that I can preview, however I know that isn't always possible and it's not a huge deal if you don't. I can be reached via the myspace link or e-mail: JustinTheGrimes @ hotmail. com
The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Robert Earl Keen, Jackie Greene, John Mayer, Ben Folds, etc.
I have plenty of equipment- none of it cheap.
