Irish, folk and Bluegrass musicians/singers wanted

New York City NY

Description

1 or 2 singer/musicians wanted to form a group to perform an eclectic mix of traditional Irish, American folk, country and Bluegrass music. Instruments needed are guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. I play all of those and also the tin whistle myself except for the fiddle but I would prefer to play the mandolin or banjo in such a group. In any case, playing a musical instrument is an absolute requirement. The only instruments I'm interested in are guitar, banjo, mandolin or fiddle and possibly bass, NO, NO, NO percussion of any kind. A strong desire to play and rock solid reliability is an absolute necessity since I do have a few connections with local establishments in my neighborhood of Bay Ridge Brooklyn and would like to be able to deliver without any problems. The type of music I envision would be in the style of the Clancy Bros, Dubliners, Kingston Trio, and Flatt & Scruggs, just to give you an example of the direction I would like to take. If you are interested, you may email me or phone me at . Again I stress I am only interested in individuals who want to work to make such a group a success and not either just hangers on or even hired guns, just committed individuals. I also do gigs from time to time outside the NYC area like Long Island and New Jersey so the ability to travel on occasion is also important.
