Rhythm Acoustic Player with vocals needed

New Orleans LA

Description

I am forming an Acoustic Duet Group to play in public, clubs, festivals, fairs, private, etc. The project will consist of me playing Rhythm and taking most of the leads or all. You should be an experienced player who has done many gigs and has their own equipment. I'm hoping you have a good voice and can sing lead on some things. But if you can't, I can sing all and mostly have all my life. But you singing sometimes would allow me scorch some leads. I am an experienced player with very good vocal ability. There is not much I can't perform. Although I have always sang the tough stuff, something changed recently in my voice allowing me sing as high as F6 and maybe beyond! I have hit a G#7 like Mariah Carey, imitating her for fun once. Most any AC DC song (This is a new hurdle for me), I can sing Rush, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Boston, Billy Squire, even sang " The Greatest love of All" Whitney Houston last night and hit every single note. And yes I can sing all the (no I don't wish to cover Whitney but it was hilarious) Common covers and have worked in the quarter singing all night. For the last two years I haven't been gigging but working on my chops which has had great results. I play 3-5 hours a day and more on weekends, so it's coming along well. I have played for 40 years and made recently some amazing discoveries to accelerating my learning on leads. My speed of playing has increased 2 fold or more. Im learning new leads at hyperspeed. I want play some songs as just instrumentals, but they are well known songs. Most of what I play would usually fit in to a type of rock, from ballad to heavy and alternative is cool also, folk rock, whatever. I like like some funk and soul too. I want to have a different kind of show that I do not see out there. I am open to whatever type of music will work for the venues we will play. But I'm not interested in doing originals right now. If we can attract a good crowd then we can go there. I do have an 8-5 job M-F so I am not able to play every night, but a gig every weekend would be great. If you don't have a phone all the time, a car, brain cells remaining, a concept of time, or $10 for your next fix, please do not contact me.
