SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

Looking for singing musicians in the Bennington area and surrounding area to form a project. Not looking to play the same old material, there are enough people/bands out there doing that. Ideally, I'd like to gig 2 - 4x/month. I'm a well-seasoned musician from the NYC area that moved to Orlando and finally to Bennington in 2023. Ideally would love playing progressive rock, fusion and jazz, although I certainly understand and am well versed in the kind of material that gets the gigs, so classic rock, blues and pop stuff as well. I basically want to have a lot of fun, build a following, and get challenged all at yhe same time ????
