Country/Rockabilly/R&R Boogie Band start up

Vancouver WA

Description

Hi, I am putting together a band. The goal is a casual band that plays new and old Boogie/Country/Rockabilly/R&R music for fun and eventually do fun gigs of our choosing. The music is essentially anything that we like, and people will get into, with an overall theme of a boogie country-rockabilly rock & roll party, sort of like an old barn dance or honky-tonk. The practice would be about one weekend evening per week. In due time, the group will make great live music and have a lot of fun being a “go to” band for this kind of thing, but at first it is for fun. I play lead/rhythm guitar, some keys and am learning the lap steel guitar. I can sing some backup and a few leads but am not a skilled vocalist. I am not a pro player, just a seasoned hobbyist dude, so people with ultra-high expectations would probably not fit in. To get it going, I need drummer, bassist, 2nd guitarist (or keys), and a lead vocalist. I have a place to practice in Kalama but don’t mind travelling if you have an alternative place. If you have made it this far and are still interested, please respond via email with a little about yourself and your musician goals. I will get back to you with a song list of ideas.
