Guitarist Starting Lo-Fi Hip-Hop Band

Portland OR

Description

I am a guitarist looking to start a Lo-Fi Hip-Hop focused group with the sound of the sample heavy genre, but with live instruments. I have many years of experience both on one side of things as a in studio music producer/songwriter/audio engineer/sample library creator and on the other side as a live rock/jazz/blues/Latin/soul guitarist. Right now I am looking for a bass player, keyboardist, and drummer; but could be open to other instrument options. Probably a low key start building a set list of original material with weekly practice. As more venues open up I’d like to get a group gig ready, recordings would be a nice bonus too. There are different directions a band like this could take, but looking to provide chill lofi music for people to groove and relax to at local bars, coffee houses, breweries, dispensaries, private parties, etc. There is a solid demand for this music and I think injecting more musicianship than just me hitting the pads on a sampler would really take a band like this to new creative territory. Potential bandmates should be chill, able to play across several genres, and be experienced at improvising on their instrument. Send me an email with a bit about yourself and a audio sample of your playing if you have it. I am looking forward to getting this band off the ground.
