Cleo Birdseed + Band in Portland, OR

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hey there! My name's Cole (I also go by Cleo). I'm 20 years old and non-binary and am working on starting a new project/band in Portland. I've have a lot of gigging and recording experience from playing in and leading a myriad of bands from Sacramento, CA.

I'm looking for drums, guitarists, bass, keys/synths, and horns. My ideal set up would be 2 guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, a trumpet/keys player, and I would be on acoustic guitar. If you can play multiple instruments and/or sing as well that would be awesome!! I have over 20 pretty fleshed out songs that I think would work well for this project at the moment and I'm continuing to write new ones. It would be cool to collaborate on the current songs and write some new ones so everybody can bring their own voice to the band, but there are a few songs that already have specific parts written that I would want to stay roughly the same.

I'm a college student so I wouldn't be able to practice during the week, but I'd be super down to dedicating a decent amount of my weekend to practicing so we can get ready to play shows and record as quick as possible. Looking for people in their late teens to mid twenties, but I'm also down to to work with people outside of that age range (I've been in bands with ten year age differences on either side of me lol). Only requirement is that you're respectful, compassionate, and have a passion for music!

Here's a private link to a bunch of demos. Check 'em out and shoot me a message if you're interested!
