SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Upright bass.ABOUT
22yrs experienced folk, blues, groove rock, looking to move into fusion. Seen bluegrass/jam become in demand in CO, and has cool design to it. Mainly grew up and played years of classic folk/rock, and blues, southern blues, but traditions, side B has always been more fun with bands.
In CO, you can get more gigs playing fusion bluegrass, jam with style, skill and uniqueness. Technically you do it without, but after 20yrs, I really want to separate us from every other jam/bluegrass band out there. Start with bunch of great covers, and add originals, as we tighten our sets.

Influences
As a front-man, guitarist, i played 20yrs of rock, from Bands such as, Allmans, the Band, Dylan, Tom Petty, Clapton, And Groove blues or traditional Meters, Dead, Neil, Marely, Wonder, and old traditional.
If you wished you were one of the lucky, selected musicians that were pieced together to create songs from Lost Basement tapes, a box of lost Dylan lyrics, that TBone Burnett put together, called New Basement Tapes. Then please join me, on my next project. And lets take up a notch, covers made into our originals stylings.
Mumford & Sons meets Cracker, meets The Band, meets GreenSky/Bluegrass, meets Dead & Co, meets Big Head Todd....and Joe Walsh. Ok, I'm just dreaming now, but you get my wish list...
Members Of Band
Rebuilding project, so looking for players who are more dedicated to rehearsing couple times per week, and getting gigs as soon as festivals, and music venues reOpen. We have couple months to pull a few great sets together. Bass player and myself (singer, lead guitar, rhythm frontman) played together for 10yrs and just want a better group, leaning more to this jam/grass, meets The Band, and Mumford, meets Giv Mule, etc, etc etc.
EQUIPMENT
Have rehearsal space in Englewood, with drum kit, so drummer doesnt have to lug his kit. Bass rig, PA, recording gear, etc etc. Have all we need.
Also, I may open a music venue in town, so lets get our set list together, and we can be House band.
