Singer-songwriter seeking bassist, drummer to start a band

La Palma CA

Description

Hi, my name is Mike, I’m a 34-year old singer-songwriter and looking for dedicated musicians to start a band.  To begin with, I’m in need of a bassist and drummer; perhaps we’ll add more pieces once we have a solid foundation.  If you can sing a little bit, and/or are willing to try to, that will also be put to use.  I myself play acoustic guitar and sing.  There’s about twenty songs ready to go, and I can present recordings of them to provide a general idea of what they can be.  Stylistically, I would say my influences are: folk rock, ska/reggae, punk, bluegrass, old country.  Think a love-child between Bob Marley, the Doobie Brothers, Operation Ivy, and the Lumineers maybe.   This will be from the ground up.  It is not a paying gig to start with.  But, I am confident it can become one.  I’m looking for passionate musicians.  Ability is important, but a good attitude is paramount.  My music and message is all about positivity, all about personal and cosmic improvement, and having some fun; hopefully I can find some folks who are down to live it up while promoting hope in our music as well as our lives.  An interest in camping and hiking is a plus, because I like to do that when I can.  (It’d be a cool way to gel, ya know?) Please note, I’ve been down bad roads before and I’ve left that life behind.  No hard drug users or non-stop party animals.  I’m all for a good time in moderation, but it can never come before the music and I don’t like seeing people drive intoxicated.  I am always up to be the DD if we’re going to rehearsal/shows, but please keep in mind that if we wish to make this a profession, we should behave like professionals. I’ll be ready to jam the third week of April, I’ll be fully vaccinated. Until then, I can shoot some recordings of a few tracks so you can get a feel for the music, decide whether it’s for you. Shoot me an email, tell me a bit about yourself, and I’ll get back in touch ASAP.
