I lead a 1920's rag/swing/blues style band called Tray Dahl & The Jugtime Ragband and I am looking for a piano/keyboard player who can play either Stride or Fats Waller style to hold down the bass and play 1920's style solos.
Also, I am currently starting a side project called Tray Dahl's Goodtime Gospel and am looking for a piano/keyboard player in the same Stride/Fats Waller style for that new project as well. This band will be a 3 or 4 piece playing old gospel tunes. I have a female backup singer and am liking to add a male voice for 3 part harmony, so I prefer to find a male who can sing low harmonies while playing piano. Probably will be booked at some Christian churches as well as theaters. I don't know, we'll see what happens once I get it going.
I am NOT looking for hired musicians. I am looking for someone who wants to actually join the band/commit to the band and be at rehearsals. Preferably I would like to find one person who will play in both bands so I can offer them double the work.
I know it's a tall order but I want what I want and the only way to find it is to start asking around. You can check out our website at jugtimeragband.com. I have no internet presence at all with the gospel band, I got the domain name but need to find band members and shoot some video and get photos to build the website with. Also I will need those videos for my agent to start booking the gospel band as well.
The phone number I am listing is a LANDLINE - so don't text. I wish I could give my cell number but too many scammers on Craiglist to do that. Sorry about that. But just leave a message on the landline and I will hit ya back.
