Middle Aged Musician Looking for Collaborators/Singers/Band

Chicago IL

Description

I'm 39 and am looking for someone to play music with ideally in a band but I'm happy to play for fun or record songs or ideas or whatever. I think playing live again before I get too old would be most satisfying but I'm open to start the whole process again. I play guitar, piano, bass guitar, and upright bass and have gigging equipment for each. I prefer play guitar in a band for once and maybe sing some backups or some songs but I'm not lead vocalist material. I'm happy to play any of the other instruments instead of guitar if you are a better guitarist than me. I'm always working on originals but I feel like it's easier to gig as a cover band. So I'm ok with either option right now. It would be fun to get into the festival circuit or play these shows at parks or something. 15 years ago I was in a cover band that had weekly paid shows. I've played some weddings and bars since then. Just saying I've done some of this before and looking to have one last hurrah before I'm too old. I took a 10ish year break and became motivated recently to try it all again. My youtube channel where I post my practice sessions is here. It is not a promoted channel or finished products just ideas I have and what I am working on. I find posting videos to be helpful in the learning process so that I'm not lying to myself about what I know and don't know. I know I'm not great but I'm looking to have fun with it again and prove that I do indeed exist. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6fRRcgxldzlrJBSEL5s6bQ
