Hey! I'm looking for folks who want to play shows and work toward touring.
Lead Guitar- Electric and Acoustic with a predisposition for effects required.
I love Mike Einzinger and Tim Reynolds.
Keys- Fills, Rhythm and Lead work.
Classical and synth effects both needed.
I love Sam Kassirer's work with Josh Ritter.
It's all about what the songs need.
I'm a 41yo singer-songwriter working on my 4th album this spring.
Connecting with the sound of my music is a must.
Please listen to the whole latest album and the one with our last group Our Ground.

My new stuff is very different from this, and changing all the time.
Rock anthems like Queen, CCR type stuff, some RHCP, Father John Misty, Dave Matthews, etc.
I'm influenced by almost everything I've ever heard.

We need people who can provide something in addition to their playing acumen.
Real team players :) Finding venues, marketing shows, recording work, social toileting, not just what you like to do or are good at, etc.
You will need to have reasonable availability for weekly practices (currently Thursdays 10am-12pm) and out of town shows.
Connecting with people through my music is my focus.
Having the sound come together with a group in a live show setting is the pinnacle for me.
It simply can get no better than that.
I'm looking to build a group worker coop style, where everyone shares in the fruits based on their contributions.
We will be playing my music predominantly until we catch up on my playable band catalog (~50 songs).
I do not have much set guidance for songs that haven't been recorded yet.
The best sound wins.
In due time, once we find our groove, I am open to work-shopping song ideas as a group.
I want band mates who want to have ownership of their work.
Email with interest or questions.

PS- I am of course also available/open to being contacted for show opportunities.
What I'm most interested in is meeting more people to play with/for.
PPS- I want to be up front about how my songs challenge the dominant religious and social hierarchies.
Your right to exist is under no threat by me.
Your mandate to dominate however, very much is.
If you truly believe in free speech then you're going to have to listen to the truth as I've come to know it.
We are made up of families of liberals, conservatives, and everything between.
Both sides are culpable, both sides peddle false narratives and part truths through presstitutes.
Challenging the lies keeping us divided and conquered is my aim and focus.
