SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Keyboard, Harmonica.ABOUT
Putting together a blues band. Standard configuration - bass, drums, keyboards, guitar, harp too. Where's my hat!?!
We have a drummer and lead guitarist who are both in the NYS Blues Hall of Fame. We need a keyboard/singer and possibly another lead type singer. Then we could do three part harmonies.
Played bass guitar for several years in the seventies in Los Angeles, CA in a band called Windance. We did approximately fifty all original songs. Windance played in the biggest all original music clubs in Southern California including the Starwood in Hollywood, the famous Topanga Canyon Corral, The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, and the 4H Club in Venice, CA. I also did some studio work in LA. Before and after California, I played in club bands in the Northeast with well known musicians like Marc Viscosi from 805, Michael Tremante, Puffer, Peter Cassedy, John Tucci, Michael Healy and Barry Smith.
