Hi Everyone! I am an experienced Singer Songwriter Acoustic Guitarist playing 60s/70s West Coast influenced originals and covers. You can hear my music at Soundcloud Russ Pratt Keynsham and danrussell1@bandcamp.com
You will hear my influences....
BEACH BOYS, STEELY DAN, AMERICA, DOOBIE BROTHERS, EAGLES, ASSOCIATION,
CSNY, POCO, ORLEANS, HALL & OATES, TODD RUNDGREN, ISLEY BROTHERS, BEATLES, YES...I am looking to put together a band of enthusiastic, talented, positive musicians who can all sing vocal harmonies naturally. I already have a brilliant female piano player, with a beautiful sweet singing voice, who also writes songs....so I am looking to recruit the following...
male or female and age unimportant...
electric lead guitar, harmony vocals
acoustic rhythm guitar, harmony vocals
flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet player, harmony vocals
bass guitar, harmony vocals
subtle drummer, percussionist, who can also play Latin rhythms, congas, bongos, etc. harmony vocals.
I have a wonderful free rehearsal place where I live in Bath with incredible acoustics.
Ideally commitment would be once a week.... flexible to suit everyone...but fortnightly would be acceptable!
If you are already in other bands please do not apply! Been there, done that, got the huge frustration! For this band to work Pacific Groove needs to be our musical priority!
The plan is to initially play open mics and jam sessions in the Bath, Bristol, North Somerset and West Wiltshire area and then try and find paid gigs! A rare beast but if we sound brilliant we will attain them! Really looking forward to hearing from you all! Take good care! Russ
