I am a modest mannered GREAT talent that has continued to dabble, but went off track a few years back with kids. I sing still once a year for a self promoted charity gig to raise money for children's cancer research, where I bring in other talent to play.... but the itch is real. My best friend was my drummer all through college, and has lived/played in Indiana for over 20 years. We made some great music back in the day, and profitably played shows consistently for 4 years straight in school. We have continued to reunite to jam with a few old friends over the years, but not until October of this last year did I move back to Indiana. Back to live with my wife and kids, and back to finally start getting the "band back together". The best project that we ever had was a combination jam band/funk/blues/a splash of r&b/with a little bit of a rock finish. I want it again. We currently have a solid bass player and keyboard player. I need a creative lead guitarist, a decent rhythm (as I play but again vocally... I got this), and sax player. We can structure some good covers, but what we really want is the piper effect. Play IT, own IT, and they will follow. It would be great if IT was something never written or heard before. Money is awesome and is a desire for the pockets, but the first step would be the sound. Getting that perfect noise that puts the feeling of complete happiness running through the veins. The cognizant thought that yes I am a musician, and this is exactly why I love to play. I reminisce on the days when we found that before, and I want that again. If you are latter 20s to 40 something, and know/remember what it's like to feel really alive... let's jam.
