SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard.ABOUT
Long time experienced guitarist/vocalist, looking for the right situation to join (or start). Maybe there are some others out there with the same desires and constraints.
Music: improvisational, jam band, americana, funk, groove, soul jazz, etc. There must be room for improv and group interplay. I'm fairly open to the actual tune list, but I'm not interested in playing the standard bar band classic rock list.
Gig: 10-15 per year. Too busy for much more. A preference for brewpubs and patios, porch and house gigs, parties, small festivals, etc. Afternoons and early evenings. I'm not very interested in late nights and empty bars.
Practice: A couple times a month (more to start), Weekday afternoons or early evenings are best, somewhere in a 4-9pm window. In an ideal situation, we learn the tunes, gig 1-2 times a month, and maybe practice a couple times a month to stay on top of the tunes.
I don't own a PA or have a place for a band to practice.
I would love to find some other solid experienced musicians, who like me, have full time jobs and only want to play occasionally, but still want to create great music.
An existing situation would be nice but I'm also open to starting something new (with drums, bass, and some combination of another guitarist or a keyboard player (or both), maybe horn player(s), maybe percussion). I'm comfortable singing 30% of the tunes, so would need others that can also sing lead and harmony.
