SEEKING
Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Moonshine Muscle Car is a Roots/Rockabilly concept. The goal is to play a 70/30 mix of covers/originals with the ratio changing as more originals are written . I am looking for roots/rockabilly guitarists (leads and rhythm, possibly switching off or just one). A drummer who can play the swing beats common to rockabilly music and very importantly, can keep a steady tempo. I will be playing upright bass and singing ( I know, my pics are of me playing guitar but I want to play upright in this band ) but don't mind switching off with other vocalists in the group. Harmonies would be great. You must love this genre of music: Rockabilly/Roots Rock-n-Roll. This is the focus...not anything else.
