Looking for bandmates in Monterey

Monterey CA

Description

Hello potential bassists, drummers, guitarists, singers and such! As the title says, I am looking for bandmates in Monterey. It's a line up from scratch, so not looking for any specific instrument yet and open to everything. My goal is to build a band of gold to play shows up and down the coast. My last band was semi-successful in the area (until the pandemic) and we have played shows at most venues in Monterey and Santa Cruz (including the Catalyst), and I am hoping to find similarly experienced musicians with. I still have contacts and am in good standing with several venues, so getting shows would not take long. As far as songs go, I have about 30 that I am really proud of, which are close to finished and only need mastering. I like to think that my music spans genres, from blues to funk, psychedelic to western, to rock n'roll & traditional. My songs are typically longer than not, giving room for dynamic rand and growth, as well as solos and jazz exploration, yada yada. I am not depending on the band becoming a world wide touring act, but if we do it right, hopefully we will have the option! Also, I am open to incorporating your originals in our sets if you have some that fit the sound or style! I want this to be a band where everyone contributes and not just my project- but at the same time, I don't want to waste time arguing over a band's initial direction or sound when there's enough material ready to go. Hope that makes sense. As far as who I am- I am a 30 year old that has been playing music since I was 5 and am well versed on most instruments besides drums (I prefer the keys or guitar). I also sing. I take my sound very seriously and am looking for someone who does the same. The photos are of my current set up, and should also give you an idea of the sounds I'm into. If this ad has piqued your interest and you're still with me, drop me an email and tell me a little about yourself and your musical background and I would be happy to share some songs to give you an idea of what I am going from and then we can go from there... Hope to hear from you soon.
