SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hello reader! My name is Paul Brackens and I have been studying music for 30 years. I started gigging with steady working professional bands at 17 years old. I play ALL styles/genres of western music (some eastern too) and am completely open minded about music. I am a very quick learner. Whatever the music needs is what I try to provide.
Looking for professional, hard working, talented, and established musicians/bands to work with as much as possible… down to tour, down for out of town gigs, down for studio work. I’ve played in many types of bands (cover, tribute, original, show, big) in pretty much every western genre, I've done lots of studio work and played 1000+ clubs, halls, theatres, weddings, festivals, private events, etc. with both original and cover bands including Jackson Stokes, Joanne Shaw Taylor, James Armstrong, Jeremiah Johnson, Ryan Perry, Whitney Shay, Dave Kalz, Brothers Lazaroff, Philip Gomez, Andrew Stephen, StringzEMB, Lola Kristine, Ryan Marquez, Not Quite Human, Two Cities One World, Hollywood 5, Vote For Pedro, Styxmas, Samba Bom, Tom Christopher Band, St. Louis Music Box, KC FLO, Project324, Glen Zimmerman, and many more… I have been a music director for several bands. I can read/write charts. I have transportation. You can find me on YT, FB, and IG as "Paul Bass Brackens" or "Paul Brackens." Thanks for your interests and I look forward to hearing from you!
