I am a 57 year old bass player that wants to play in variety band, work 2-3 times a week. If that doesn't happen, I'm looking for experienced Drums and Guitar player that have vocal abilities for a good harmony band. Drummer that has a funky bass drum ability. Trying to find guitar player that is interest in playing classic rock, soul, funk, even country, with somewhat of a jazz back ground. Looking for a strong rhythm ability in the lead guitar player. I moved here in 1985. Local bands that I have played in: Commander Daily and the Blues Battalion, The Jim Glass Band, Small Paul and the Drivin Wheel, Milk n Honey, Bulls Eye Band Thomas Oliver and the Kick Band, The Midnite Blues band, The Hot Ice Band, The Soul City Band, The J Powers band, The Groove Defenders, The Generations band (thegenerationsband.com). Would like to play corporate gigs and and club gigs with the intent to make money and have lots of fun. Emphasis on fun. Interested in playing music that the crowd wants to hear, (not necessarily what the band members are tired of playing), with emphasis on danceable music. Willing to learn new and old songs. I am a quick learner. Looking for a steady reliable band that want to stay for the long haul that have a positive attitude in their approach to music. Presently I do fill in gigs with the abiltiy to step right up and make the band feel confident about my playing with out a rehearsal before hand. Don't get me wrong, rehearsing is valuable to developing songs and vocals. Traditional bass player, not looking for click tracks, or part midi mixed in the sound. Bottom line, I'm a good reliable bass player that loves music. The music I prefer does not restrict me from playing other types of music. I can also belt out some vocals and harmonize. I like to sing, but I'm not a hog. Contact me at tlbass@cox.net
