Experienced singer/Rhythm Guitar for classic rock project

Mesa AZ

Description

Here's my deal. I play rhythm guitar competently. I can also play leads (not my preference as this is not my forte and there are far better players out there...I will however collaborate on harmony leads) and light keys (good enough for most 80's style rock-I play keys on about 25% of the tunes I perform now). I share co lead vocals now with another group I have been with for a long time (I am not a band jumper). I am a strong baritone singer (range of Night Ranger, Finger Eleven, Cult, Bad Company, Scorpions, etc). I have good gear and practice space in my home. I have been playing in multiple clubs around AZ for the past decade. Why am I looking? The band I play in now (and will continue to play in) is only averaging one gig every month or so and if I am putting time in to learn new songs and practice consistently I want to gig more...that simple. What I am looking for in a group? I am looking for other experienced players that need a good utility player to round out their sound whether it be helping out with some lead vocals, playing some keys, singing back up vocals and/ or adding a second guitar player. Would prefer a band already gigging but with the right talent might consider a start up. I am looking to join other team players who serve the music, not their egos. I prefer to sing music in E flat (1/2 step down). Age not necessarily a factor but prefer to play with people that have upbeat energy when they perform. I would prefer a band that is committed to practicing roughly once a week in the east valley, plays out at least 1x a month and isn't opposed to booking last minute gigs if the opportunity presents itself. I would prefer a classic rock band that has several strong singers and can put up great harmonies. This is my wish list but I have some flexibility. What I am not interested in is jam sessions, showing up to practice unprepared, starting or joining a band that doesn't have aspirations of sounding excellent. In other words I don't want to spend time being in a band where everyone is content being mediocre. If this bio sounds interesting feel free to let me know what you've got going and we can see if I may be a good fit.
