SEEKING
Vocalist - Soprano, Lead Guitar, Violin, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Mandolin, Fiddle.ABOUT
I'm a singer song writer looking for fellow musicians (and singers) to collaborate with on original songs.
I have 3 friends that I jam and work on arrangements with regularly, but they are not always available and we all play guitars. I would like to meet some multi-instrumentalists who would be willing to contribute to song arrangements.
We would like to include:
- a keyboard/piano player
- possibly another lead guitar player to share filling the breaks in our songs (we have 1 regular lead guitarist)
- singers !!!! backup or another lead singer welcome as well
- a female voice to sing harmonies with would be great !!!
- various other instruments: fiddle, cello, mandolin, harmonica, etc.
- we are going for a 'grunge/alternative' kind of sound - a cross between Crazy Horse, Nirvanna, with a Little Flying Burrito Bros. and maybe an additional something that you haven't heard of yet
Please message me if you are interested in playing on any of our songs.

EQUIPMENT
I have a few guitars - well maybe more like 12 - a collection of acoustics and electrics. I have a few mic's and a couple of amps. I record on my IMAC in Garageband and on a Zoom H6. I also own an older upright piano. For recording I use a Line 6 POD HD500 simulator to run my guitars through most of the time.
