Keyboardists - Rick Wakeman, Kerry Livgren, Don Airey - where are you?

Los Angeles CA

Description

I recently played with a good keyboardist for the first time in a while and got inspired. I play in a band, and do regular "hired gun" work on the side (pre-Covid at least). As such, I'm thinking of doing a side project with a progressive/hard rock vibe doing covers from at least the 70s and 80s, (maybe more). It would be based on the keyboard-heavy bands of the era. I'm a bassist/vocalist and can sing all that stuff. I'm easy to work/get along with and hopefully you are too. I can usually find guitarists and drummers, so the logical first step would be finding a talented keyboardist who is interested in building the project with me. It would be great if they could sing at least backups as well, but not mandatory. Song ideas would be along the lines of: Blue Collar Man - Styx Point of No Return - Kansas On The Loose - Saga Crash and Burn - Pat Travers Foreplay/Long Time - Boston Love Will Find A Way - Yes Journey, Toto, Rainbow, ELO, Bon Jovi, Genesis, Queen, Rush, Foreigner, Deep Purple, Sweet, Europe, Doobies, Night Ranger, Supertramp, could possibly extend to newer stuff like Coldplay or Smashmouth. You can learn about me here with various songs and videos. https://www.bandmix.com/carl-c/ If any of this is of interest to you, it's just a concept. I'm happy to take your input into consideration not just try to steamroll you into my vision. (I truly hate The Doors so please don't do that to me 😉). Let me know.
