I am looking for people to start a band with or just jam at first for fun..I play mostly lead guitar ,but can also play rythm .also some slide.I would ideally prefer a harmonica/singer to front the band..as I'm not great at talking to a large crowd or being a front man...i would also be interested in a woman singer. Preferably a large full voiced black woman that can belt it out like koko taylor,or shemeika copeland! A funky bass player is a must! I like to mix blues and funk and bass makes or breaks it-think albert collins and james brown- also someone that plays piano, or organ would be great! A horn section would be nice as well. I like the horns in Albert and BB Kings background! They add a great addition to any blues band I think...I know it is a longshot asking for all of this,but I know the right people are out there..I'm not into heavy drugs or getting hammered drunk , but I do like to sip a few beers when I play,and don't mind smokers..I'm easy going and get along with anyone..I'm a 30 year old white boy trying to get a blues band together for fun and income! I've been playing 20 years and have been deep in the blues for the past 6 years.its pretty much all I listen to. If you think we can get something going or if u just want to jam please contact me..I have been living in hot springs about 4 years now and would like to meet some new folks! I think that about covers my wish list,hehe gimme a ring 501_247_9470!! Lookin forward to meeting you! Peace and chicken grease!
