Decatur GA

Description

HELLO, MY NAME IS JAY MANIS. I PLAY GUITAR AND WANT TO START A BAND TO PLAY OLD INSTRUMENTAL DANCE MUSIC. THE MUSIC COVERED WILL INCLUDED BOOKER T. AND THE MG's, THE METERS, THE BAR-KAYS, THE TRASHMEN, & THE RIVINGTONS. I WOULD IDEALLY LIKE TO STICK WITH OLDER SONGS NOT HEARD ON THE RADIO, FROM THE 50's, 60's, and 70's. THERE ARE MANY GREAT SONGS TO COVER, BUT I REALLY WANT TO ONLY PLAY INSTRUMENTALS. MY GOAL IS TO PLAY MUSIC AND GET PEOPLE DANCING. DEEP LYRICS & SING-A-LONG ANTHEMS WILL NOT HAVE A PLACE IN THE SET LIST. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A KEYBOARD PLAYER, A BASSIST, AND DRUMMER WHO ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN PLAYING INSTRUMENTAL DANCE MUSIC. MY IMMEDIATE GOAL IS TO PLAY THE DECATUR/OAKHURST PORCHFEST IN OCTOBER 2023. LONG-TERM GOALS INCLUDE PUTTING THE BAND'S NAME IN FOR "SUPPORT" AT EDDIE'S ATTIC (WHERE I WORK), AND EVENTUALLY TO PLAY THE AMPLIFY MUSIC MUSIC FESTIVAL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.
