I have a band but we don't have a name yet, (that's why this isn't a band account). I currently have a band of 3 people, Greg (16 yrs old), Evan (15 yrs old), and Ben (I am Ben, 16 yrs old), and 1 person that may join later on, Samira (18 yrs old). We like to keep our options open in terms of each persons role. I play primarily lead guitar and lead vocals right now, Greg plays bass primarily for this band, but he's also a phenomenal lead guitar player. Evan primarily plays the drums, but is also a good guitar player. Samira is an amazing soul singer/lead vocalist, and plays a bit of rhythm guitar and piano, but she's been busy and may join the band later on. We have a few really good originals in the work already, and I can send you some of them if you'd like to check them out. Note that we're all pretty liberal, you know black lives matter, save the enivronment, wear a mask, etc. If you disagree with all that, I'm not judging, but it will probably be pretty hard to make this work long term if we can't see eye to eye on those issues.
We're also pretty capable of producing music ourselves, but I also know a guy in Miami who has a great professional studio. Also we have not played any gigs together, but we have each played many gigs individually.
What we need:
Is someone who can play really good rhythm guitar, but also can play lead. If you can also sing back up vocals, and maybe play a bit of piano/keys, that would be great.
