Vocalist wants to start Blues & Americana Band

Atlanta GA

Description

What's up music world! I'm a lead vocalist. I also am a fluent keyboardist and Hammond Organist, as well as I play other instruments...so I do know music. And I'm trying to put together a band for those who are in it for the love of music, and are ready to share their music talents and abilities with the world! I'm looking for some key players with good energy, positive attitudes, and who are very skilled, know how to play in every key, and understands music! Sometimes I will sing & play. But for the most part, I'm looking to be the front man/ lead vocalist. I'm into B.B King, Joe Bonamassa, Lucky Peterson, John Mayall, The Vaughns, Bobby Blue Bland, Denise Lasalle, Little Milton, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and now Kingfish... As far as Americana goes, I'm into The Decemberists, Sheryl Crowe, and I absolutely love what Mavis Staples has been doing on the Anti-Records label since 2007 with Ry Crooder and Jeff Tweedy!!! So I just wanted to throw these names out here just so you can see where my head is musically. I've been in the studio working on a couple of my own tunes as well as a couple of covers that I can share by way of email/mP3 file. And I would love to hear what you have as well. I'm really ready to link up and meet some other musicians and rehearse and see if we like each other musically. This is what I hope to get: At least 2 keyboardists Lead guitarist Bass guitarist Drummer A female duo singer or background singers Brass & woodwind section I would like to go and hit up some bars and grills, karaoke spots. Fatt Matts Rib Shack in Buckhead/ Atlanta is a very small spot. But they have open mic night. I work with a music production company and the owner has different things from time to time, that we may be able to perform for. We have to start somewhere. Or maybe you have some things lined up. Let's do it! I am a single dad of four beautiful kids. I work days Mon thru Fri, and I get off everyday at 3PM. My wknds are spent mostly with my children. But gigs/performances, I will make sacrifices to work around that. I'm clean, sober, and I don't have any hangups. Neither should you. I don't want to get together to discuss race, politics, your sexual preference, religion or the media. I want to get together for one purpose: TO MAKE AND ENJOY SOME DAMN GOOD MUSIC! Sure, I don't mind having some wings and beer when we are taking a break during rehearsal, so we can enjoy ourselves; (especially to talk about how the Georgia Bulldogs are the champs baby!) But immature BS, I DON'T DO! So anyway, respond to the posting. Drop ya music if you'd like, and let's see where this goes! Have a blessed wknd everyone!
