ABOUT

Do you like Americana, modern country and rock? Jamestown Revival, Tom Petty, The Eagles, Jon Pardi, the Rolling Stones? Experienced drummer and bassist / vocalist seeking acoustic guitarist/vocalist to form band for Indianapolis area gigs.

We both work full time jobs and are looking to gig a few times a month at bars/restaurants/private shows. We love music and live performance and want to entertain crowds with cover music they know. We commit to regular, weekly rehearsals in Zionsville so we can sound great when we play live. We do a professional show and don’t do band drama. Interested?

We play our versions of covers in rock, alternative, modern country, blues, and a handful of popular 50's / 60's / 70's songs. We cover 300-400 songs and vary our playlists depending on the audience. As a guitarist, I listen to everything but play a lot of acoustic. As a bass player, I always love an awesome bass groove.

Influences

Way too many to list! As a singer, I like nearly everything with a great melody, strong vocals, and I really appreciate vocal harmony. Lately I've been listening to Jamestown Revival, Houndmouth, Sara Bareilles, Alicia Keys, The Avett Brothers, Zac Brown, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Maroon5, and tons more. I love the classics from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, Rush, Journey, Queen, John Mellencamp, Pink Floyd .... the list goes on!
