Looking for grizzled unsung badass

Newport Beach CA

Description

I am looking for a songwriting collaborator preferably over 40, with whom to write, record and produce beautiful, complex music. I am a songwriting, guitar playing bass player, at it for 40+ years, with decent chops on keyboards, mandolin and drums. I sing my own songs only because I have to and I can find a harmony vocal line for just about any melody. I have hours of songs written and recorded, some of them published to all the major streaming platforms, to which I can send links to see if we align. I love Yes, Queen, Rush, Soundgarden, Aristocrats (Govan, Beller), Steely Dan, Van Halen, Eminem, Iron Maiden, Brandi Carlisle, Billy Joel, Beatles, Kendrick, Beethoven, Brubeck, Manu Chao, J Cole, Joe Satriani, Chopin, Norah Jones, Joe Pass, D'Jango, Vai...the list goes on and on. It just has to be interesting. My cohort is a drummer/guitarist who owns a well-equiped little studio in Laguna Beach where we can get together for writing, rehearsal and recording most nights. We have our own record label, for what it's worth. We've been going it alone for too long and could really use another accomplished instrumentalist with a new voice and a new set of ears. We like to write and record. There's no burning desire to play out, though it could be an option. Send me an email with links to your songs and let's talk.
