4/3/23
I am reforming my longtime Washington, DC- based band, BG & the Mojo Hands, and looking for a pro bass player and drummer. I have always had multiple vocalists in my band so vocals are a plus.
I also perform as a country acoustic blues/modern electric blues, R&R/Rockabilly and country duo act (Brian Gross Duo) with harmonica player/vocalist/guitarist/songwriter. My duo has performed at the Pilot House (twice/month residency), the Rusty Nail, Wrightsville Beach Brewery, Henry's, Bar Masonboro. I recently booked solo performances at the Cam Cafe.
I'm also interested in opportunities for joining other bands.
Produced three CDs:
BG and the Mojo Hands Live at Blues Alley
BG and the Mojo Hands, I Don't Believe
