SEEKING

ABOUT

I've played in a lot of bands over the years, with many different styles, covers and originals, and varying levels of seriousness. I've played in some great venues, like the House of Blues, and have spent time with a band in a professional studio. Those were great experiences, but I've had just as much fun sitting around a bonfire with friends, strumming acoustics and banging on trash cans for drums.

These days, I'm just looking for people to make music with, enjoy the process and, if it turns out sounding good, playing it for others.

I'm mostly interested in playing electric guitar, but I also enjoy playing the bass and have played bass in bands in the past. I can cover basic keyboard parts, too. And I am a decent drummer, though I don't own a set. I sing on my demos, but I know my voice isn't my strongest asset; I'd sing backups but I'm not a lead singer by any means.

But mainly I want to play guitar. I guess you'd say I can play lead or rhythm guitar, but lately I'm less interested in guitar solos and more interested in how different instruments can combine linear parts and chords into interesting arrangements.

My g mail is droscoe101.

Influences

I like just about every type of music, but I particularly like indie pop and rock. In recent years, I've really enjoyed albums by Courtney Barnett, Phoenix, Cloud Nothings, Illiterate Light, Real Estate, Car Seat Headrest, Band of Horses, and Parquet Courts.

I'd be interested in a variety of projects, from heavy rock to indie chill. I'm most interested in working on original music, either mine or others, but covers can be fun.

EQUIPMENT

My main guitars are a Fender Jazzmaster, a Fender Tele Deluxe and an Epiphone SG, played through a Fender Bassman and either a 2x12 or 4x12 cabinet. I have a bunch of other guitars and basses and combined with my pedalboard I can usually dial in any sound I'm looking for.
