Where the odd keyboard players at?

Santa Rosa CA

Description

We're putting together a band (bass, guitar, fiddle) and are trying to find a keyboard maestro. Not looking for the most technically proficient (although we won't kick you out of the space for playing Rachmaninoff) player, but that's fine too. We're more or less looking for that type of player that can wrestle any kind of sound out of any kind of keyboard instrument, be it an old pump organ, an electrical hazard type organ, Pepsi-stained synths or a melodica. The sound we're going for at the moment is some type of garage-y singer songwriter fare. Semi literate lyrics combined with pop melodies that can skew bluesy, bubblegum or classical. Think like Tom Waits, Marianne Faithfull, Pogues, Bobby Blue Bland, Nick Cave type of stuff. For now. Obviously if you're such a killer keys player that you need to make money right away, this might not be for you. Money isn't coming into the conversation for a few more months yet. We're not trying to force you into any kind of role. Bring yourself and your sound and ideas. This ain't no dictatorship. Party? Sure. Disco? Why not. But dictatorship? Nope. Obviously all are welcome to reply, but if you're a close-minded hateful type.....oooh boy you are not going to like us. Bonus points for anyone original, different or whatever. Even if you're a drummer or another guitarist.
