Cy K and Friends + Band in Portland, OR

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am currently working on 3 different musical projects
Project 1) Recording the music of Terese Carlton, and possibly some collaboratively written material at some point. We are currently laying down rhythm guitar and vocals and arranging bass lines.

When we find a drummer that is natural with reggae and rock we'll lay down bass and drums. Then we'll seek some additional guitar, keys, slide, and horns.

To hear more of what we are working on go to s:///terese-carlton.

Project 2)
Looking for a drummer to record with Barry Klussman. Pacific Northwest reggae/soca dance band.

Goal is to record a 4 to 6 new songs in the studio and book a few partys/gigs for over the summer.

To hear some of Barry's previous recordings, go to ://barryklusman/

Project 3) Terraplane Blues and Taxi Service
I have a long running relationship with delta blues/country blues/ragtime guitar player and singer john Hawkwood. We get together when domestics allow it... sometimes it's blues, sometimes it's bluegrass, but it's always fun. John has closets full of old songs lurking around his mind and I never quite know what's coming out next.

I am seeking a percussionist to join out duo and we'll become a trio.

We also like to get together with other string players that have similar styles.
