Bass player needed for immediate stage time

Austin TX

Description

I am a very experienced solo artist looking to expand my sound with first a bassist then likely add a drummer later. I am looking for a bassist that can hold a groove and help keep time on stage. I call my music Psychedelic country blues. My influences are fairly wide including these that directly affect my sound: Blues: RL Burnside, Hubert Sumlin, and Lightin Hopkins; Country-ish: Waylon, Townes Van Zandt, Doug Sahm, and JJ Kale; Rock/Psyche: Black Angels, The Stooges, Grateful Dead, The Band of Gypsies. My favorite bass player is probably Buddy Cox from band of gypsies. My set list can expand to three hours (1/2 originals, ½ covers) but usually do one to two hours on stage. I have a residency at the Hole in the Wall so we would be able to play live as soon as we rehearse. My idea is to expand on the psychedelic side with more members that can help me keep a groove while I am making sounds through a large pedal board. We can rehearse at my house (I have a small bass rig) around Crown and anchor pub (north campus) and then hit the stage as soon as we are ready. I don’t care how old you are, what you identify as, as long as you are friendly, professional and eager to play onstage often. I drink (but can hold my liquor and expect you to), and 420 if those are problems for you. Ideally we would rehearse once a week, I work only on Tues and Weds, so I am pretty available. I look forward to hearing from you.
