SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
My main instrument is the concertina (not an option in instrument selection on bandmix), and my main genre is Irish music. My next instrument is the electric bass. The bass is where I am looking to expand my playing, either in a band or just jamming along with others.
I also play the accordion and mess around on the keyboard. I could pick up parts on those instruments as needed/wanted.
I am with my kids half the time, and I work full time, so even though I would want to be fully committed, time-wise, moderately committed seems more realistic. In the end, music is fun, and I love exploring new musical opportunities.
