SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Tenor, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Background Singer.ABOUT
I am looking for a vocalist and maybe one other utility player to form a band. The sound I'm looking for is a mix of a modern rock sound (with some traditional influences) and new wave - something close to dreampop.
My main instrument is guitar, but I have been playing violin & keys since I was young. I can capably play bass guitar and mandolin. As far as vocals are concerned, I can do back up, but probably not lead vocals.
Stationed on the North-Northeast side of Austin, solid day job, reliable transportation.
Side note: it is 2020. There is no excuse for not having at least one photo and a soundclip.

EQUIPMENT
I have a solid set-up for doing live shows mic'ed or unmic'ed. I also have a reliable set-up for recording vocals, keys, and stringed instruments at home... basically everything except live drums, but I use a drum machine anyways.

September's Over (solo only, in studio) Genre: Alternative
This track was mixed down to highlight the solo, so it will be louder than a normal solo in the mix. Recorded at studio using Pro Tools.
