Lead Vocalist looking to start a Blues & Americana Band

Atlanta GA

Description

What's up everyone. Some of you may have responded. But I was sick after posting my initial ad. Now that I've recovered and I'm well, I want to start over. Most of the contacts that I had, I've lost, or have moved on. So I'd like to start from scratch. I play many instruments, and I am a lead Vocalist. I'm just looking for someone to share the same vision as me. No beginner musicians please. I would hope to get someone who can play in every key, and as far as the drummer goes, be solid and be able to play with or without a click track / metronome. A few background singers will be good as well. I'd like the whole thing. I'm going to leave the ad up until everything is put together. I want us to be a full band, that should consist of a lead & bass guitsrists, keyboards, a drummer, and later we can add a horns and woodwinds sect, after we at least get the core. My influences are BB king, Joe Bonamassa, John Mayall, Dr. John, Bobby Bland, Little Milton, Ray Charles, just to name a few. Also, I'm into Americana. I love what Mavis Staples has been doing on Anti-Records since 2007, with Ry Crooder and Jeff Tweedy; also artists like The Decemberists, Pat McLaughlin, Sheryl Crowe, etc. Just to show you where my head is at. I'd like to do covers as well as written tunes. I'm not selfish. If you have material, present let's do it! I work with a music production group. There's always free gigs lined up to get us exposed. Also let's hit up some sports bars for karaoke night. Take our instruments and jam. Fatt Matt's rib shack in Buckhead is a good spot. Maybe you have some spots where we can jam. Or maybe you have some events. Let's do it! Let's get exposed and just make great music. I'm all about positive vibes. No negativity. No drama. No bs. And I expect the same in return. I have mp3s via email to share of my material. Let's do it!
