SEEKING
Bass Guitar, Drums, Other.ABOUT
Female vocalist with very eclectic interests and influences so not easy to pigeonhole me. Passionate about blues, jazz, soul, rock (classic, heavy, alternative, modern), pop, funk, dance, latin, blues, acoustic, big band, lounge, etc. Typically sing alto. Easygoing, mature, but fun. Just love to sing with like-minded solid musicians. Would love to start a funky rock blues hybrid band.
