JosiahBullockIII + Musician in Metairie, LA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a well seasoned musician. I have played in numerous bands throughout my career,( Enamer, Dust Bunny Nation, Everyday Addiction, Rising Sun, InnerMost and City Below,) and have performed on many great stages in LA, AL, FL, OR & MS. Mostly the southern LA scene. I have performed at The Howlin Wolf North And Southshore, House of Blues, Tipitinas, Carroloton Station, Check Point Charlies, SouthPort Hall, Keystones, Twist Of Lime, The Bar, Northgate Tavern, The Green Room, The Outerbanks, Bankstreet Bar, The Atlas, and many other great venues.

I have recorded several times and have three full length albums, and numerous other B sides and EP's. I can play to a click and I have a fairly good grasp on structuring and arranging music. I have a solid meter and a full understanding of songwriting.

I am currently performing with a New Orleans' based Rock/ Alternative Rock band called City Below. I have worked with engineers such as Dave Fortman and Larry Elea. I have also had the priveledge of having some tracks produced by Phil Taylor ( Future Leaders of The World, Machina.)

What I want is a solid group of professional musicians that want to take gigging seriously. I look at this as not only a passion but as a career also, and I hope for like minded individuals. As I said, I can play with a click and wold like to eventually work into the set backing and click tracks to enhance the performance.

I am looking for ambituous,professional, hard working, consistent, and well seasoned musicians that are looking to make something epic. I would prefer to practice at least twice a week and hopefully start gigging by early spring.

Throughout my career in New Orleans Underground Rock Scene, I have collected many beneficial contacts so booking, recording and touring will not be things we will have to worry too much about.

I also would prefer that anyone whom contacts about this band opportunity be ready to commit to this whole heartedly once things begin to grow. Also, a steady job is a must have, as are transportation and gig ready gear. You don't have to have the most expensive rig, but must be of professional grade in sound and appearance. The only reason I require these things are because indivuals that posses these requirements will be more likely to contribute to the bands success. It does cost money to record and promote and merch isn't free.

I am looking to experiment beyond my influences and climb out of my comfort zone if the vibe is right. So if you wanna do something big in this city's underground rock scene and climb the ladder of professional musicianship please contact me with an email or a phone call.
