SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Other Percussion, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Trombone.ABOUT
I am actively looking for a new music/band project. I am interested in doing a mix of covers and originals thrown in and doing moderate gigging. They style of music I like playing is funk or a fusion of funk and rock. I am looking at 1-2 practices a week with maybe a couple a gigs a month. First and foremost I am trying to find a really great bassist to build a rhythm core with and add on from there with great guitars and possibly a horn section and keyboards.
