SEEKING
Band to Join, Harmonica, Vocalist.ABOUT
Names Jim (stage name UJ aka Uncle Jimmy Harmonica Man) 5 years harmonica player self taught. Started writing lyrics this last July & have written 5 songs over the last few months. I've been told I'm advanced as a vocalist. I would consider myself good voice, above average, always looking to improve. Ive been playing my songs & some covers at open mic. It's awesome to watch people dancing, bobbing their heads & actually recordings performances at open mic. From reactions I'm getting people really like my stuff. I can play the harp (harmonica) to just about every genre. From classic blues, to rock, country, beatbox harp, heavy metal...ect I am a storytelling vocalist (some call me a Hick-hop rapper) like Johnny Cash, B.B.King, Luis Armstrong, voice like an old blues singer that I've been able to throw into pretty much every song I do. Don't know many musicians. I would love to meet & jam with whoever out there ready to throw down some music. I do have to warn you tho that everything I do is by ear. I don't know how to read music & things kind of have to explain a lil bit cause I don't really know the vocabulary either. I'm not trying to discredit myself, just want to give a heads up on that. After all that said, if you are interested in hearing anything I've recorded so far. Whether it be a cover or one of my own songs. I think that you'll be happy with what you hear Hope to hear from some other musicians soon!!!!!
