Calling serious musicians tired of the same old same old (Rochester NY)
OK HERE IT IS....I am forming a band that I will be the leader of.
I play rhythm guitar, I am NOT a lead player. I need a drummer, bass player, lead guitar and/or a keyboard, and preferably a female lead singer that can `sing the blues`. I am not a young'in. I am a young 60 year old. I don't really care what your age is. I need stability in your life.
It will be a benevolent dictatorship.
Here's why, most bands that I have been in have no `leader`, everyone works together as a team. Sounds great doesn't it? But after a while nobody agrees, or some say nothing about what they want and leave, or one person `takes over` to the resentment of everyone else, or time goes on and no real progress is made because there is no plan, just a lot of desire `to make it`. Sound familiar?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
In my band, I will make the decisions after hearing all points of view. I will have a working plan to follow to achieve the goals that we as a group decide on. I will keep us on track. I will assign duties to band members that fit their talents, be it music arrangement, marketing, etc. I will have the last word on all disputes.
Here's is what I need from you:
1. A commitment to practice on your own to learn new material and keep fresh on old material.
2. A commitment to making the bands practice sessions on time.
3. A desire to play out and truly entertain.
4. Willingness to accept that the buck stops with me.
5. The understanding that a band is like a marriage, respect, communication, commitment, willingness to compromise are all essential to making it work.
6. Musical ability.
7. Stability in your life.
With all that being said, what I envision is a Classic Rock, R&B. Covers from Petty, Springsteen, Santana, Tedeschi, Beatles, Clapton, Adele, Church, Although versatility in all genre of music is essential to make it marketable to the masses, Oldies, some country rock, some chart stuff. I see us playing some bars, charity events, festivals, especially in the beginning to get us exposure, then morphing into a party band once we get a reputation of sorts.
If you see value in this approach and want to talk further, reply to me and if you like, give your Name and phone # and I'll call you back.
