Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Background Singer, Harmonica, Other.ABOUT
I have been absent from this site for a while. I can play some instruments but have gotten fairly competent on the ukulele. I very much enjoy singing and playing for socializing, laughs, and a general love of music.
I live in the Atlanta area and am looking for an acoustic guitarist or ukulele player to sing a variety of songs at local open mics for fun or paying gigs if we sound good enough.
If I could find a paying gig to be a lead singer in a classic rock/standards cover band it would be ideal.
I used to sing and play bass in bands. All posted recordings are admittedly and purposefully amateurish. Every track is a 1st take, which is to say I didn't correct any mistakes. The keyboard solo on All of my Love was the absolute first time I ever tried to play a keyboard solo.

Messed up the first of the recording, but would've butchered anyway.
