Vocalist/Keyboardist seeking other musicians to start a Blues Band

Alpharetta GA

Description

Hello guys. I want to take another stab at finding some folks who are SERIOUS about starting a blues band. I've had a few to respond and actually get together. But someone came down with covid, another moved out of state. And my drummer got pregnant and left town as well. I had a second batch of folks to respond with interest, but they NEVER committed to even doing an initial meet and greet rehearsal. So at this point, after we do an initial group text or whatever to get introduced to each other, I will be looking to meet in person, rehearse and begin our band. If you're not able to do that, then this isn't for you. I got texts in my phone right now, from dozens of folks who responded to the ad and said they were seriously interested. We introduced ourselves and afterwards, I said, let's meet up and try some rehearsing. I'll even pay for the rehearsal spot. But the texts went blank; and a few followed with habitual excuses. I don't want any time wasted; because I'm not going to waste yours. That'd be very disrespectful of me. I just ask for the same in return. I'm trying to dig into my dream and passion here. Before I die, I want to sing at a musical event, and do it with a band, because we all want to be there. So at this point, either people will be interested, or not; and if you really can't commit, please don't respond. No disrespect intended. Secondly, if you just want to play in your garage for fun, this isn't for you either. Hopefully, we'll get something off the ground. I'm looking for the following: 1. Keyboardist 2. Organist (bring keyboard for practice) 3. Lead guitarist 4. Bass guitarist (electric only plz, no upright) 5. Solid drummer I'd at least like to get the core started. Styles will be similar to artists such like Lucky Peterson, BB King, the Vaughn brothers, Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Kingfish, Fatback, John Mayall, Bobby Bland, and others. My sound is traditional, mixed with a bit of today and yesterday, also both uptempo and slow tunes, my written material and some covers. I'm very eclectic and also creative. I hate boring music. I'm also into, and sometimes might do one or two tunes from the Americana and Southern Soul genres. But the main idea, should be blues. I'm not selfish. I'm very open minded. Got material you want the band to do, written or cover? Bring it and let's do it! Hope you all will be interested. I will wait for the responses. Peace!
