ABOUT

I recently moved to Gulfport and I'm looking for a retired singer/frontman or singer/frontman/bass player for my band, "BB & the Nobody Band". ( If you play bass, you must have a working knowledge of the Nashville Number System. All of my music is notated using that system.) I'm looking for someone close to my age who would love to occasionally be on stage again singing the old rock, blues, R&B, and country hits that we grew up with in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. As they say in South Louisiana, that person is guar-on-teed to "Pass a good time!" :-}
(Audio Samples)
(I recorded the audio samples on this page with a small digital recorder so the quality is not great. I'm singing lead and backup and playing all the instruments, so some are pretty funny. Listening to them on computer speakers as opposed to earbuds or headphones is like the difference between black & white and color.) :-}
Check out the song list below and see if we like the same music. This is just a portion of over 300 songs in my song file. If this sounds interesting to you, contact me and we'll talk. BB
(Song List) Below is a list of some of my favorites from a master list of over 300 songs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KvFuoTpdbnZi55ZSpW4LlrBLMLt5j-mNCzh_47gIL5U/edit
