Experienced songwriter seeks musicians to start band, play shows

Oakland CA

Description

Songwriter with band experience and ready-to-practice material seeks musicians to start a band, practice seriously, and play shows. Ideally looking for guitarist, drummer, and bassist age 20-40 who enjoy working on a project in a relaxed and focused atmosphere. Bring your vocal skills too, I love rich harmonies. First goal would be to put a live set together to start playing shows as soon as possible. Then get in the studio if it gets to that point. My songwriting genre is in part British as are my influences. I play guitar, bass, drums, and a bit of piano. I sing, although not amazingly, but I get better as I practice with a band. Some of my influences: The Beatles, Bowie, The Kinks, Supergrass, The Clash, Blur, Pulp, Oasis, The Divine Comedy, The Doors, Tom Petty, Neil Young, The White Stripes, BRMC, Cage the Elephant, Jeff Buckley, Alvvays, Fiona Apple, Arctic Monkeys, Elvis Costello, Kasabian, Dr Dog, Delta Spirit, Spinto Band.
