SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Upright bass.ABOUT
I am from baby boomer times but seem (as I am told) much younger - playing music is to be forever young and fully alive…
SEEKING KEYS BASS, DRUMS, Horns…TO FORM A BAND——-3 piece or larger. Possibly duo if it can work with 2.
Doing pop/retro-soul covers and originals.
Playing for our enjoyment, and bookings we can get-AND...to volunteer at shelters for homeless in South Bay - to give back.
Also may do concerts where we book a place and sell tickets,
Song list will be some of what each band member selects. If you are a singer and play bass/drums/keys you may want to do 1/2 the lead vocals.
Classic Pop tunes may include:
Oh Happy Day by Edwin Hawkins
I’ll Be Long Gone by Boz Scaggs
Everyday People (Sly Stone)
Compared to What by Les McCann and Eddie Harris
Songs from 2000 to 2024 may include:
Running out of Time - Paramour
Flowers - Miley Cyrus,
The Man - Taylor Swift,
The Door - Teddy Swims,
I Miss You Baby Pt. 1 and When It Was Wrong -The CA Honeydrops,
Together in This, From The Jungle Beat Motion Picture - Natshia Bedingfield
Loose Yourself to Dance - Pharrel Williams and Daft Punk
Forget you - Celo Green
Suddenly I see - KT Tunstall
Valerie - Amy Winehouse
Shelters are not about getting "exposure" but to GIVE inspiration or a bit of fun to those who have been through a climate event or challenges such as addiction, job loss etc…
Having said that, it is possible we may get other opportunities via giving back in this way.
We will rehearse as needed - more at first to learn tunes as a group. Please reach out if interested.
