Laid-Back Guitarist Seeking Collaborators

Seattle WA

Description

Hey Seattle, I’m 45 and I write laid-back guitar based instrumental music. I’m seeking creative, tasteful musicians of all sorts who like my sound and want to collaborate on writing, recording and performing. I’d love to hear from you if you play drums, hand percussion, bass, keys, brass/winds, slide/steel, harmonica, sing etc. I’m looking for people who can listen closely, play softly as needed, hold down a steady groove and leave space (or not play at all) when it fits. I gravitate toward simple song forms, pretty melodies, and improvised aspects. Alternatively, if you like my playing and already have a project that you think I might fit into, I’d be open to that too. Here are some demos so you can hear my playing, I’m not necessarily set on making stuff that sounds like this and would love to get a stronger rhythm section involved: DEMOS https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ioxtbsrrlfdgbww/AADwQTpwg3WYj-u59Xoivtvra?dl=0 Lately, I’ve been listening to stuff like: Khruangbin, Cymande, Mulatu Astatke, Tommy Guerrero, Gabor Szabo (Dreams), Ry Cooder (Mambo Sinuendo). More specifically you can hear some top influences here: REFERENCE PLAYLIST https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1nFwoWJWU6y9g6Y4q8PVjk?si=4b2059dcc16142e3 If any of this sounds interesting, let me know: - what you think about my demo sketches and/or reference playlist tracks - what music excites you - what gear you use - where you are generally located (I’m in NE Seattle so hopefully you are fairly nearby, in most cases it probably won’t work if you are located too far outside of the Seattle area) - if you have any samples of your playing (not required) Thanks for reading!
