Hume + Musician in Carmel, IN

SEEKING

ABOUT

About me: I’m a former pro musician, recently retired from a 30ish corporate detour. I'm seeking other vocalists and musicians to explore a few different projects and have fun jamming, songwriting, producing audio / video production, and gigging occasionally. I uploaded a old, lo-fi audio files captured between '80 & 2018. Need your help to update demos w/ better stuff. I play piano / synths, electric / acoustic guitars - lead / rhythm. Tenor/alto-ish lead and harmony vocals. I lean very liberal. Prefer to hang with my tribe. Call text email 317.644.6149 levi at creativecollab dot net

The Projects: Create 'modular' ensembles from duos to sextets - matching players based on common goals, genres & availability. No commitments are required. Seeking vocalists (female preferred) that music can orbit around. Also need bass - electric and/or acoustic, drums/percussion, guitar - electric / acoustic, reeds, violin, other keyboardist/synth etc. A basic understanding of music theory, harmony, and chart-reading skills can be helpful but are not required.

The Music: Vocal centric - Lot's of options including jazz or jazz--ish, American Songbook to PMJ stuff and electro swing, R&B to any blues, pop to folk and Americana, indie, alt, and anything jam-able (ie, Dead), reggae, world music, etc. Any relatable, fun, and interesting (aka not boring) including arrangements of covers and original material - from duos to sextets - electric to acoustic to ukes w/ 2+ part harmony.

Formats: Occasional live gigs in small venues, private events and open mics. I plan to produce audio and video demos for everyone - on YouTube/TikTok/Live Stream.
