Guitarist (late 40's) forming a new original band influenced by all the great Southern Rock, Blues, Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Funky Blues bands/artists.
Not really looking for over technical players as feel and passion are far more important to me than over technical soulless showing off. Must be looking to naturally play good down to earth honest live music from your Gut not from a text book.
Looking for a natural blues/rock Singer preferably with lyric writing ability but not essential.
Good feel based drummer who can hit hard when required and also do the more subtle stuff.
Solid Bass Player with a good feel and a big ass sound.
I’ve always made my living from music due mainly to hard work, royalties from past releases and occasional session work as a musician/producer so I have plenty of free time to commit to the band and would prefer those who have reasonably good availability as well. Ive done everything from local gigs to full on pro tours in Europe, USA, Canada, Far East over the years and prepared to do the same with this band if the opportunity arises so please bare in mind that I’m not interested in anyone who only wants to do 1-2 local gigs a month.
Need People with no hang ups, no problematic partners in tow and no egomaniacs! Musician who have a good understanding and feel for blues/rock based music and a desire to do something better than standard off the shelf pub rock set-lists, cheesy corporates, wedding Gigs or vomit inducing lame Tribute bands!
Image immaterial as this will be about the music plain and simple.
Prefer over 30’s to 50 something age wise as I’m looking for people with some real musical miles on the clock but also prepared to be impressed by younger players.
Musical influences include BB King, Chuck Berry, Muddy, Etta James, The Who, Zep, The Stones, The Doors, Skynard, CCR, Tony Joe White, Early ZZ Top, AC/DC, Seasick Steve, Free/Bad Company, Blackberry Smoke, Little Walter, Cadillac Three, Allman Brothers, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Motorhead, The Record company, The Temperance Movement, Black Stone Cherry, Metallica, Wilson Pickett, Scotty Moore, Brian Setzer.
If this sounds like your thing and you are committed, reliable and have a soul please get in touch asap.
