I'm a songwriter/guitarist looking for experienced bass, drums and another guitarist for an originals rock band project based in Ashford, Kent.
I take my influences from all types of music, rock, pop, acoustic, indie, punk, rock and roll and metal. Anything with a good beat or a catchy riff!
I have some songs fully written but others need more input so you'll have to bring some ideas and creativeness with you to help finish them.
The Plan: Learn and write/finish the songs, (happy to do this remotely)... Rehearsals in Folkestone (evening's) or at the weekend (?during the day) gigging when ready and eventually recording an EP or an album.
Future Goal: ideally gigging/touring full time and making money out of it.
If all this goes well we can look at world domination.... Anyway, first things first ...
You can listen to a few songs on SoundCloud to 'Saving Jamie Kent' which are mainly recorded as guitar and vocals. (These are by no means the finished product, just a rough idea!)
About me: I'm no spring chicken (52) I currently have a full time job in the NHS, I've gigged and been in other bands, originals and covers, for over 25 years playing rhythm guitar and singing backing vocals. I've also gigged/sung some of my original songs a few years ago.
I'm looking for people who are creative, driven with a touch of magic for music.
Must be committed, have transport and your own gear, exceptions will not be made. Not interested in people with a precious ego, but I would like you to have a sense of humour and at least some enthusiasm! Gender unimportant. As long as you're able to play your instrument, have some music/gigging experience and be nice is all I ask... I'm no songwriter in the vein of Sir Paul, Sir Tom, Sir Dave Grohl or Sir Lancelot... But, if I can get a good band of musicians together, who knows where it might take us! After all, they had to start somewhere didn't they?
Please be aware, original bands are incredibly difficult to get off the ground, so this will take hard work and effort on everyone's part. Learning, writing, rehearsing, gigging and promoting.
Please get in touch if this is of any interest to you.
