Hey, I'm Jon, and I've been looking to form a band for a while. As you can see, I play a bunch of different instruments. What I'm aiming to do is form a band of multi-instrumentalists so that we can switch up instruments on different songs. (A lot like The Band did.) Also, I don't want there to be a specific front man--the more singers, the better! I want everyone to contribute and have a say. I write many songs in a variety of styles. A lot of them are reminiscent of sounds from the '60s and '70s, but other genres I dabble in are jazz, folk, classical, and more. So I'm shooting for a variety of genres. (I often add stuff like trumpet, flute, clarinet, and other wind instruments to songs to give them more uniqueness.) I'm looking for people around the ages of 18-25; people who are really passionate about music and doing shows.
