Looking for country/Americana musicians for a two-step band

Paia HI

Description

Aloha! I'm a female country singer looking to start a country band on Maui. I'll be moving to the island in a few months. I don't know much about the current music scene in Maui, so I thought I'd start putting myself out there and see who's available. I have some experience as a singer in a country two-step band in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have been singing and playing country music for about 20 years. I have some professional experience with gigging, although most of that 20 years has been just for fun. I can do harmonies. I mostly sing country/Americana but also love the old timey swing jazz from the 20s and 30s. I'm seeing a lot of new age music on Maui, but so far no country. Country music lovers, where you at? Maybe I'll be able to find it once I'm on the island. If you have intel about the music scene on Maui, let me know. Influences/loves are Jeffrey Foucault, John Prine, Gregory Alan Isakov, Guy Clark, Patty Griffin, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Eva Cassidy, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt. I love 70s country with the 3-part harmonies and old country songs from the 20s and 30s. Not into pop country. Let me know who you are, what instrument you play, your years of amateur or professional experience, and what you're hoping to get out of this band (how often are you able to rehearse, play out, etc). I may be getting ahead of myself since I don't even live there yet and don't even know where to get booked (I've heard a two-step night might be welcome upcountry). But I can't live without music, so I have to try. Mahalo!
