Seeking female vocalist/instrumentalist for punk/folk duo

Bastrop TX

Description

The vision: A male/female acoustic duo that specializes in punk rock versions of traditional styles like blues and folk that performs badass, high-energy live shows. The setup: Me with my guitar and vocals, you with your [whatever] and vocals. I'd prefer you're not solely a vocalist; hopefully you can bring another instrument to the table, be it another guitar or banjo or mando or harp or cajón or whatever. The core of what I'm thinking involves male/female harmonies and trade-offs and such, but I want that to be instrumentally as well as vocally. A fun exploration of traditional music, but also with punk rock energy. It's like The White Stripes meets John Butler Trio meets Mandolin Orange, or something like that. I'm a transplant from Michigan wanting to see what's up with the music scene in Austin, having spent many years as a gigging musician back home (as a punk rock blues duo, incidentally). But my drummer there would never sing with me, and now that I'm starting from scratch, I want to try it with female vocals, and I want to try it acoustically to start out. If you think you're interested, send me an email and let's talk. And please be of the mindset to at least want to try to hit some open mics, working towards actual gigs, at some point in the non-pandemic future.
