SEEKING

ABOUT

About me: Played bass/vocals/rhythm guitar in an 8-piece dance band to pay for college. Left bass behind 25 years ago and have been playing electric + nylon acoustic guitar since. My working band "Beyhan" went into hibernation during COVID. We were doing classic tunes (like Sheryl Crow, Supremes, Aretha, Ronstadt, Raitt, Ricky Lee, Ella, Supremes, Marvelettes, Staple Singers, and Smokey) in local restaurants and bars. We have a good following of people our age and want to continue playing out maybe two times a month. Through COVID we're only taking outdoor gigs so at this point I just want to meet other musicians and see what sounds good.

Influences

Ecclectic. Came of age with old Soul that most white people didn't listen to, am in to Middle Eastern and Latin rhythms, but also love the lyrics and heart of country music. My band reinvents old favorites, sometimes acoustically but always with a groove. I want bandmates who are professional, mellow, and want to put a real band together (not just a gig here and there.) Ideally we'd play out maybe two-three times a month, unless the pay is too big to ignore! You can find me on the web at musicbybeyhan dot com
