🎵🎶 Keys+ seeking guitar+ for Walk Off The Earth type of project

Ridgewood NJ

Description

Looking for multi instrumentalist(s) who sing and would be interested in doing interesting musical arrangements of covers of various genres, similar to Walk Off The Earth in the way they take songs and turn them into something very unique. Keys are my primary instrument but I can also play drums, bass, ukulele, harmonica etc to varying degrees of proficiency, but I believe I could prepare different instruments for performance with enough preparation. I am open to any instruments and any age, gender, etc. I'm 42, male. Guitar or ukulele would be very valuable as I would like to have the basic framework of songs covered between me and 1-2 other people, but also be open to bring in other people, here is my loose framework for the idea/gameplan: The foundation is me on keys and you on guitar, plus maybe drums/percussion. We get things started and build up a dozen to a few dozen songs. Probably rehearse 1x per week and look to start gigging 1x per month when ready, which I would guess would be in spring or so. From there I want to handle it somewhat like a choir/sing along format. I love doing vocal Harmony arrangements and would love to have a group of singers who can harmonize well together. Also, by letting more people get involved that is more people to bring heads to shows and less pressure for me (42 year old dad) to try to promote gigs. Obviously this won't be a high paid thing (should it get to that point) so you would need to want to do it for the sake of the music. If there is money to be made later, great. I ran a band with a similar format in the past and they way we did it was that the pay was contribution based, so band members/multi instrumentalists would be priority to be paid, singers and part timers likely would be in it for fun. If things were to work out I have a space to play, and I am happy to handle a share of booking responsibilities and fill music director role, but ideally would like someone else who wants to contribute to song selection, arrangements etc. No drama please, I don't mind if you drink or partake in 420, I may occasionally partake in the latter, but no drug addicts please, also no politics please. Just looking to have fun playing the best music we could possibly create. I love many different genres of music and would want to play various genres, or at least take songs from various genres and put a creative spin on them. The last band I was in had great results taking hip hop songs (along with various other genres) and giving them a funk feel and playing with solos and improvisation, crowds responded well and everyone had a good time. I know this is a long shot but if anyone is interested contact me via email or ideally text. I have music samples and videos I can share, I'll add them to this post later if I remember.
