John D + Musician in Waterbury, CT

SEEKING

ABOUT

Guitarist in Central CT - late 50s.

Interested in joining or forming a blues band.

Gigging: No more more than once every three weeks or monthly. Not looking to be out in bars every weekend here. This is also a for fun/not a ‘second income’ pursuit.

Rehearsals: Weekly or every other week would be good. At my place in Central CT or anyplace that’s central to where the players are from and available, e.g. your place.

Material: Focus on upbeat stuff that keeps a crowd rockin', interested & dancing interspaced with a few slow tunes for pacing. Doing songs that turn us on as players.

Not looking to have a second guitarist but if you’re good on lead vocals (while there are video clips of me doing vocals here, I don't intend to be lead vocalist), bass, drums, keys or harp - great.

Also: if you need a guitarist for a one-off or occasional gig playing rock, blues-rock, classic rock or acoustic stuff - send me a message, perhaps there's a fit. In addition, up for jamming if it includes a bass and full drum kit rhythm section :)
