Drummer wants to start a shoegazey country band

Los Angeles CA

Description

Howdy! I’m Cory. I want to start a shoegazey country band. Is that a thing? Also open to other ideas. Mostly just want to start making music with people and playing shows. Conceptually... lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Nikki Lane and John Prine. I like the storytelling and nostalgia of those artists and definitely want to capture that playful energy. But I also like rock bands like The National and Big Thief. About me... I’m 31 and have lived all over the place. The midwest, NYC, the south, and now I’ve been in LA for a year. I play drums, piano, guitar, and can sing decently well. I’m most comfortable behind a drum set or a synth. I work remotely as a graphic designer.

Not sure where this will lead, but if you feel like we’d vibe musically I’d love to meet and see what we can come up with. Down to jam and go from there : ) Cory
