seeking musicians for acoustic duo/trio & street band

Santa Barbara CA

Description

Hey there, I just recently moved to town, and I'm itching to start playing music again... I was living in Germany and Italy for the past 14 years, had some bands over there, and am looking forward to getting some bands and projects started here. I primarily play guitar and sing, but I can also play some bass, synth, sax, uke and a bit of drums when the opportunity presents itself. I've written songs and collaborated with others, and I've played in a bunch of bands that toured around Europe and the east cost of the U.S.-- I'd really love to start playing shows again and ideally tour around a bit more. Here's what I'm looking for: - *an acoustic duo*: I played guitar in a couple of acoustic duos in Italy. We mostly played our own interpretations of covers with a few originals thrown in. Here's one of them: https://soundcloud.com/always_on_tour This band featured a violinist and my other one featured a trombonist, which was great fun, but also instruments such as cello, double bass, accordion, or even cajon could work well. - *a street band*: I am currently forming a street band in Santa Barbara with a friend, and we are looking for more members. I played in the Rude Mechanical Orchestra in NYC (https://rudemechanicalorchestra.org/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17hYqndB-SQ) and the Express Brass Band in Munich (https://www.expressbrassband.de/en/). This SB street band will be in the spirit of HONK (https://honkfest.org). See the attached flyer for more info on this, including contact info. I'm looking for folks who want to have a ton of fun playing music with others but are also serious about making things happen. Let me know if you're interested!
