Looking for Alt Country / Roots / Americana group players
Description
Alt Country / Roots / Americana singer-songwriter-storyteller here looking for musicians interested in playing with my group in 2024.
About Me
I am 47 and married with young kids. I work (non-music) full time and music is a passion. I love to write songs, perform live, and record/release. I played a dozen shows in 2023, mostly solo. I released an album and 3 singles as well, and plan to release more in 2024 and beyond.
You can hear what I sound like by searching online for Jason Andrew Griffith or jasonagmusic.com. You can hear a live set from last September here: https://on.soundcloud.com/dMNxGRN4JhwFyUS68
About the group
We do mostly my own original songs with a few covers thrown in. I sing lead vocals and play acoustic guitar, and I have a bassist and a backup singer that often play with me as well. We are talking about setting up a monthly rehearsal in 2024.
I am targeting 10-20 shows for 2024, and I generally like to ensure everyone makes at least 100-150 per show. But I am not really in it to make money, or play corporate gigs or 3 hour cover sets. I like shows with a crowd that is musically engaged in venues that are fun to play and open to sets of original music.
About you
Ideal instruments to add would be things like drums, keys, lead guitar (country roots sounds), steel guitar, banjo, etc. Age doesn’t matter, just maturity.
You should have a positive attitude and be easy-going (no drama or politics), and have your own equipment and transport. You should be about the same or better skill level as the rest of us (see link to live set above). If you want to sing some harmonies and are capable, that is great too. Obviously, you should also enjoy the same genres of music listed above.
