Hello folks.

I’d like to start a band with some of you. Rather than a band that plays the same songs from the 60’s and 70’s as every other band, I’d like it to be a hard rock/rock/grunge type band that plays some of our favorites from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. Here’s the youtube playlist of songs that I practice singing to and are in my range. A lot of these are just to work on and none are must have's.

I’m a 52 year old fella with a wife, kid and job. Outside of those 3 things music is all consuming to me and my family is as supportive as anyone could hope a family would be. They give me the time, space (large basement practice space) and support to make a real go at this stuff even though I only got started playing with other people a couple years ago and haven't ever done a gig.

What I am looking for is an equal partnership between 3 to 6 people that don't bring rock star ego's to garage band practice and that dig the kind of music listed above. I hope to find some people that are serious enough to put in the work it takes to stand on a stage of any size and knock their socks off by being super tight and entertaining. I know a lot of folks just wanna mess around and have fun “just jamming” and “winging it” and I agree that is a blast (truly). But I get goosebumps and a smile I can’t wipe off my face when we nail it. Anyways… I don’t wanna blather on and on. I hope some of you are interested in seeing where this goes and we get to talk soon.

If you like, check out some of my playing and singing down below (I am not dead set on singing if we find someone better but I am willing to put in the time, effort and money for lessons it takes to be great).
