SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Other, Trombone.ABOUT
Hello! I’ve been playing bass guitar since I was 12 years old and my musical tastes were and still are quite diverse, making me comfortable contributing to various projects across many genres. I love the challenge and the experience of creating music and working on projects with other artists.
UPDATE: I found my band focused on Blues/Soul (and a combination of other stuff). I played with the guys recently and we plan to book some shows this summer.
With that said, I'm also forming a recording project to create original music that is a bit more experimental. If you enjoy artists like Mr. Bungle, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, or the Mars Volta, then we should talk.
I'm looking for a guitarist, drummer, vocalist, brass or woodwind, and keys to round out the personnel.
Since this will be a remote collaborative effort, it is of great importance that you own and know how to use home studio equipment and software, and that you are comfortable working with click tracks, individual .wav stem files, charts, line sheets, and (possibly) full sheet music. This should be loads of fun!!
I’m also available immediately for:
- Filling in for gigs if your bass player is unavailable.
- Session work on your projects.
Are you interested in joining an original project as described? Do you need a bass player for any of the other scenarios above? Please reach out and we'll chat!
