Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
Short-term Goal: Over the next 3-4 months I want to record a few songs live in the studio here in Las Vegas with multi-cam video coverage to throw out into the world.
I need people to start by learning the frameworks as I wrote them - then, I want to work together to build up stronger collective versions of each song. In a big way so we can be looser/improvisational live.
Just wanting to start with a 4 or 5 song e.p. for the sake of focus.
Writing spontaneously with players in a room is the funnest, but I have scores of songs that I need to get recorded before I can get back to doing a significant amount of that.
I've just been subjected to a lot of overplaying musicians over the years (thankfully because people have loved my songs!)
I play with restraint on guitar when the song calls for it, I sing with the same. Looking for players who respect the spirit of the song most of all.
In exchange - I love to help people with their projects however I can (engineering, playing, writing, singing, producing).
Long-term Goal: to do this for a living - the current situations in the music industry are crazy. I figure that making audio/visual product is the logical start.
