19 year old guitarist available and looking for musical projects to be a part of. I have plenty of both playing and gigging experience: having played for 12 years, studied music at Oxford College for two years and have currently been performing with three different solo artists. This includes having performed at the Oxford O2 Academy on five different occasions and recently Witney Music Festival, as well as a number of independent venue and pub gigs. With gigs at The Big Feastival, Truck, BBC Countryfile and other gigs lined up this summer. Generally, I am gigging around once a fortnight - sometimes more, sometimes less. However, I am keen to up that.
I am quite interested in finding any musical projects around which are in need of a guitarist - to increase the amount of gigs I’m doing. So could be more solo artists which are in need of guitar accompaniment/for a backing band or even for starting up an originals band - as that’s something I’ve been quite interested in for a while.
In terms of styles I am very open to anything really… Not really interested in anything too far down a Metal or punk kind of scene but I’d consider anything. I’ve performed many different styles with different bands - rock, soul, indie, blues, RnB and more. However, if I was looking to start up an originals band I would quite like the idea of going down a Roots rock, Americana, bluesy soul kind of style (think Bros. Landreth).
Something else I am very interested in is playing in a function/party/wedding or covers/tribute band. I have performed at both a wedding and a birthday party in different bands, so I have experience in learning a large bulk of cover material. In addition to this, having played many covers gigs, there’s a good chance I already know a large number of popular covers for this kind of band.
So if anyone is looking to start up a function/covers band or are in one who need a new guitarist let me know. I can also play bass and would quite happily play bass in one of these bands. Age would not be an issue for this type of band.
I can drive so can transport myself to gigs and also have my own guitar gear. In terms of location, I am based Banbury side of Oxfordshire so would ideally really like to find people around that area. However, I am in Oxford a lot of the time so would not have issue there and being able to drive means I can get around easily anyway. So location is not a huge deal, however, ideally I would like to find something relatively local.
If any of this sounds of interest or you know anyone who would be, do feel free to drop me a message.
