Indie twang rock band looking for musicians

Asheville NC

Description

I write, sing and play rhythm guitar. Looking for a drummer, lead guitar, and bass player that can sing harmonies, to embellish on about 30 original songs and a few covers in the style of of how I write and play, and eventual collaboration once we get a feel for each other. Its all about the song to me so I'm looking for musicians working toward that end. I come from the indie/punk scene so please have an understanding of the independent scene. If your experience is doing the cover band thing, I am not interested. Flavor of the music has been compared to Tom Petty, Neil Young, Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo/Jay Farrar. Crunchy guitar sounding upbeat songs about the simple things in life. Some acoustic. Melancholy often. Some social criticism in the spirit of Woody Guthrie so no trumpers please. Music is easy to play into with old time music chord structures. Lots of room for leads without overplaying. Goal is to open for touring national acts locally and in the region, or a select bars/venues that are a good fit. Headline where possible. Potentially a tour leg if offered. Hopefully make an EP toward those ends. I also do all the branding, social media, merch design, etc so I can make us look legit for promotion/marketing and offer a revenue stream. I don't care about the money, so I will give all involved all the gig money minus practice space rental/supplies/gas etc. I can make money on the march but willing to share that too... Please be willing to practice regularly. No flakes please. If you really only kind of interested and don't have time to commit then please pass. No rock star wannabes please. Its all about the music and the songs first, sharing the stories of life, and the love of playing. Will send samples upon interest. Thx and looking forward to making some good music!
