Singer-Songwriter Needs Some Low End Support

Austin TX

Description

Howdy y'all. I'm a late 30s singer-songwriter-guitarist, been in Austin (area, I live in San Marcos until next month) a little under a year, and I'm about to hit my 100th show since moving here. Been almost entirely solo up til now, but I'm starting to feel like it's time to expand a little. I play 2-5 times a week, originals and covers, ranging from Austin to San Antonio to Fredericksburg and all points between. Classic country, folk, rock, indie, pop, soul... I've got a little bit of everything and a whole lot at the end of the day. I might play one or two "tips only" gigs a month, the rest are paying gigs (not necessarily paying A LOT, but SOME guarantee plus tips). I have a wide catalog (maybe 15-25 originals and 100 regular covers, plus charts for another couple hundred that I can pull on demand) and I like to rotate songs in and out. You: play upright bass, or electric bass, or cello, or tuba, or bari sax, or some such. I'm open. I'd love if you could sing harmonies sometimes (probably less likely if you're a wind player, I suppose), but not a deal-breaker. I'm a professional and I expect you to be: I don't care how old you are and I don't care if you play every gig or just some of them, but I do care that you show up when you say you will and come ready to work with good-quality gear. I really don't want to spend hours and hours and weeks and weeks rehearsing: I can share charts and scratch recordings, and I'd love it if you're the kinda player who can keep up on the fly when needed. I'm not a task-master, I'm not a perfectionist. I take my work seriously because it's more fun if it's good, and the longer I can get paid to sing songs, the longer I can avoid having to get a real job. Writing, singing, and performing music is the only thing I've ever really been good at and I just want to do it better today than I did yesterday, and better tomorrow than today. Here's a couple random sets from last fall, to give you a sense of what I'm up to: https://youtu.be/n04Y594IxTM https://youtu.be/ltQerOe3VEM https://youtu.be/IAz7gDYQ5N4 Wanna get in on this? Hit me up, tell me a little about yourself, maybe a video or two if you got em? Let's make some sweet sweet music together.
