Bradenton area - seeking blues harmonica and bass

Bradenton FL

Description

Howdy - I am moving to the area this spring from Austin,TX where I have been playing live for 25 years or so. For the past 5 years I have fronted a trio - I play guitar / foot percussion and sing - and I have a bass player and a harp player here... gigging 4-6 times a month or more if the money works. I have 2-3 hours worth of material - 90% blues based, 50% originals. Think Lightnin Hopkins meets JJ Cale meets Robert Johnson. I'm hoping to start the act back up in Florida, and do some earlier shows and weekend day stuff - breweries, private parties, restaurant and smaller bar gigs. I'm almost 55, top notch gear, I own a PA and I can put on a pro show with crowd engagement/banter. I am curious as to who is in the area, even just to meet some fellow Blues peeps. I am happy to coach up folks who have played for a long time but haven't been in a gigging band.... I like to rehearse. Give me a shout and lets chat.
