Guitarist/Bassist looking for multiple projects!

Austin TX

Description

Hey! My name's Jenn and I'm a guitarist and bassist in the south Austin area. I'm looking for other musicians to jam with and ideally gig with. Available as rhythm or fingerstyle guitarist (some lead) and/or bassist. Also play a few other instruments and sing as well. For guitar my influences/sound goals are: - bluegrass, folk, fingerstyle - Keller Williams, Kaki King, Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, Ana Vidovic, Phish & Umphrey's McGee (acoustic stuff), Jerry Garcia (think pizza tapes with Tony Rice), String Cheese Incident, Greensky Bluegrass For bass my influences/sound goals are: - jam bands, funk, jazz, but will also play country/western/bluegrass if needed - electric bass only (unless you have an upright I can borrow to practice on lol) - STS9, Lotus, Grateful Dead, Umphrey's McGee, The Meters, Phish, Tauk, Disco Biscuits General music tastes are all over the place in case you couldn't tell, but I love all things jam, bluegrass, funk, motown, rock n roll, electro-funk, even some tech-house. I also love live looping. I'm always learning new stuff and am open to all different genres and jamming with as many different people as possible! Definitely have a little stage fright hump to get over but I've played out at open mics and jams and had a few gigs back on the east coast as a solo artist and bluegrass rhythm guitarist & backup vocals (right before the pandemic with the Shameless Hex). Always looking to improve and my eventual goal would be to play paid gigs with a band around town, possibly touring a bit in the future. I'm at the point where if you give me a set of songs I can learn the whole thing in a week or two, so it's time to start looking outside my circle for more people to jam with! Looking to have at least 2 projects going at a time, and they don't necessarily have to be with different people. I do have a day job but if the tunes can pay the bills I'm down to do this full time. Working on finishing up a folk/bluegrass album now, and the next one up will be electric and a good bit funkier. Age doesn't matter to me for jamming, but if you're in your 20s-30s that would probably be ideal for gigging since we'll likely have the same goals and schedule. Similar taste in music is a plus, but definitely not a requirement!
