Description

From Wikipedia :) "jam band has applied to acts that incorporate genres such as blues, country music, contemporary folk music, funk, rock, progressive rock, alternative rock, folk rock, world music, jazz fusion, acid jazz, bluegrass, reggae, and psychedelia bluegrass. All members write original compositions and sing. The performances of these bands typically feature extended musical improvisation over rhythmic grooves and chord patterns, and long sets of music that can often cross genre boundaries." I am; - Close to retirement, so have time and $$ - Experienced, competent guitarist, singer and songwriter. Played publicly in many bands and as a solo singer/songwriter throughout my life. - Have pro equipment but currently DO NOT have a good space to practice, but willing to put $ towards this. - Able to harmonize well. My vision; Strong vocal harmonies will be key. 10-20 minute arrangements. Interesting time signatures. Rhythmic grooves that will get people moving. Strong musicianship. Strong improv skills. I am looking for especially these musicians who can sing and harmonize; - 2ND GUITARIST - KEYBOARDS - BASSIST AND ANY OTHER MUSICIANS WHO ARE: - able to sing well and harmonize - able to play unusual improvisational instruments - for instance violin, mandolin, flute... - experienced creative composer/song writer with a love of improv I'm not particularly attached to making a bunch of money but for sure playing publicly once we have a good set list. This is more about creating a joyous, danceable, fun sound, The pure love and enjoyment of jamming with good musicians and bringing good vibes to the community. Maybe the money will follow. link to a couple of my songs; https://soundcloud.com/david-nye-4/point-of-view?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing https://soundcloud.com/david-nye-4/staring-me-in-the-face?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing David
