My name is Jimi Stubbs, I'm a guitarist / Singer on the circuit, some of you may have seen me at the various jams i have run/played at over the years or maybe even worked with my as I do a lot of dep work for various projects,
I'm getting quite a few requests now to book as my own band, I do not have my own band..
i really require a keys player who can be both subtle and outspoken as required, i have several other bass and drum players I work with but they switch in and out so I would like a full time setup with both,
you don't have to be an incredible keys player, just the ability to "read" a situation is perfect, be aware of the music and what others are doing, being incredible takes a long time, being aware of the band and what the song is doing that's not something you can learn I don't think, if you can do that but only play a handful of notes or you have a lot more to learn i will still want you over a technically incredible player who has no idea the world is still turning outside of them playing, honestly its worth a conversation if you can hit 2 chords at this point, we can figure out the rest.
i play various styles from soul / R&B to hard rock, think still of the night whitesnake, but also seven days craig david or what you wont do for love Bobby Caldwell, i love, robin applewoods cover of outstanding on youtube would be a good idea of this style of music, or teddy swims rock with you,
next to this style i also like to go ape s**t on a heavy rock solo so there's that, just aslong as its fun.
I also tend to change up how a song sounds, you can find me on facebook if its easier, jimi stubbs music
i am terrible at the whole "PR" thing so it needs work, but getting bookings doesn't seem to be an issue, eagerly waiting on a keys player, 2 notes in the right place over 50 notes all over the place,
Thanks for reading.
