Band to Join, Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Keyboard, Background Singer.ABOUT
Looking to join a cover band as a drummer or rhythm guitarist (electric and/or acoustic) with ability to do some singing if needed. Have been in several bands over the years that petered out due to life changes/obligations of members. Looking for a band that probably plays 1 or 2 gigs a month or less. I would consider a weekly gig if it is near me. Ideally on the west side of Cleveland/Cuyahoga county.
I have a side project desire to form a small group (duo or trio) covering mostly 1960's and early 1970's folk rock, pop, and a few classic rock songs. Also covering more modern songs in the same genre (Tom Petty, Lumineers, etc.). Your age doesn't matter so long as you know the material or are committed to learning it.
Contact me through this site or I have a g mail email address with the first part being goodshipp at the google mail to schedule a jam or discuss opportunities.
