Hi all,
Thought I’d give this a go to see if I can find people out there to jam with, play some groovy music and potentially start a band...
A bit about me:
I’m a singer/songwriter/basic rhythm guitarist (nothing flashy, I enjoy playing guitar but I'm not a pro) ~ looking for a guitarist/musician to play some tunes with and play some shows, see where it goes. Mainly just because I love playing music, that creativity and the thrill of playing live; my goal isn’t commercial success but rather just doing something exciting and enjoying it (Though who who wouldn’t like to make a living doing what they love?!). I've got a vibrato-rich, strong (perhaps a bit bluesy) voice and I try to get a song's emotion out through it. I'm looking to join the alternative/DIY/south-east london music scene and stretch my creativity.
I’m 22, so looking for chilled people around the same age, maybe 21-26yo?
South East London based- I’m in Nunhead so Peckham/Nunhead/Brockley/Catford/Honor Oak/Lewisham/that general area preferred but willing to travel if it works out well.
Here are some bands/musicians that I love and am influenced by, to give you an idea of the kind of sound I have in mind:
Kevin Ayers, TOPS, Angel Olsen, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Connan Mockasin, Ann Peebles, Jonathan Richman/ The Modern Lovers, Julia Jacklin, Shopping, Patti Smith, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, The Velvet Underground, Barbara Lynn, Donny Hathaway, Wendy Rene; the list goes on but I don’t wanna bombard you with names!
I have this idea that it will sound like a wild, kinda jazzy, mercurial cowboy dream; chorus/reverb rich guitars, reverb-drenched vocals, upbeat but has a melancholic edge. But of course we bring our own ideas to it.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in, get in touch!
Thanks,
Al
