Foresteater + Musician in Phoenix, AZ

SEEKING

ABOUT

Lifelong "Band Dude" here to find serious musicians for my project Foresteater. If you can sing high harmonies that is a bonus. Not looking for writing partners, all the songs are already written for a serious established touring project; If thats a problem please don't apply. You will be paid whatever we make from the gigs and be a part of the live band. I've been in the Phoenix music scene for 20+ years. Foresteater has played (Valley Bar, Rebel Lounge, Crescent Ballroom, Marque Theatre, Lost Leaf, Last Exit Live, etc.) and toured the west coast. This is perfect for someone who wants to be in a working band that plays out a few times a month any maybe plays in other states or towns.

We have a Singer that plays Electric Guitar (Me). Need a Bass Player, Drummer, Acoustic Guitar Player and either a lead or Rhythm guitar (you'll probably split both tbh). Hopefully you can learn by ear. Representation is important so looking for at least 1 female on any instrument. Please take your Instruments TONE seriously and try to match that of the recorded songs. Had past full time members but Kinda Revamping Foresteater now and wan't to work with new people.

Weed and drinks are cool but I don't want to deal with anyone who has substance abuse issue's or does hard drugs. Not trying to be someones Dad so hopefully you can be drama free have your sh*t together and can be good with your commitments. Also please have pro quality gear. I'm not trying to be bossy this just isn't my first rodeo, if you are in the same boat you'll understand.

I'm 34 and am cool with anyone 21-40 or maybe a bit older but still gotta pull off looking younger and also please be a young soul (You probably are if you are playing music). I'll probably want to meet you in person as a person to make sure we click but you should also be really good at your instrument. You might know me locally thats fine I just wanted to put this up here and see what happens. Don't be scared to reach out on here even if you know me already. I'm a 90's punker kid that ran the gambit with style's and bands growing up but ended up with this grungy psych pop band Foresteater that has been going for 6 years now.

Sorry again If I sound bossy just tryina be thorough. - Mikey
