If you are tired of playing covers…
If you are interested in playing original music and perhaps putting your mark of artistic expertise on a portfolio of original tunes, then this may be an opportunity for you.
I’m an Oakville-based singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboard player is seeking serious, accomplished musicians to form a band to play -- and potentially perform and record -- a growing portfolio of songs that I have written. My catalogue includes more than 185 ballads and love songs in the pop, new country and folk genres.
In 2021, I formed a band called Politically Distressed and released an album called Fake News, a collection of original songs that poked fun at politics and international affairs and the individuals who perpetrated them. The album was favourably received in a number of global markets, including Brazil and Argentina. You can see more at PoliticallyDistressed.com
I am now interested in putting together band focused on playing sets comprised of my more traditional music.
This could prove to be a rare and really enjoyable opportunity for the right musicians. Looking to have fun — recording and performing are definite objectives.
