Seeking Fiddle, Mandolin, Bazouki, or flute or ?? player

Eugene OR

Description

I am a Celtic vocalist, rhythm guitarist seeking instrumentalist to form duo, or possibly larger group later. I have had Irish bands in Portland, Olympia, Sonoma County, and am now settling into Eugene. I see that Celtic music is not as popular as it once was but there is still a cult following. I also write songs of the Americana type. I prefer to work with a fiddler or other instrumentalist because it makes it more interesting and gives me a break from singing on every song. The arrangement I seek is one in which the my vocal is featured in half of the set and the instrumentalist is featured in the other half with me providing the rhythm. A strong core like that can play as a duo or add a bass and percussionist later for a fuller sound. If you can sing harmony all the better. I am experienced with booking, publicity, creating set lists, and I have a small sound system. It is unlikely we will have many paid gigs other than St. Patrick's shows. I am just starting to book myself at Farmer's Markets for now. I also am going to be host of a community radio show which should give me some opportunities for a few things.
