Bass Player Looking for Original Country Musicians
QR Code Link to This Post
Experienced bass player making a last-ditch effort to find some musicians interested in writing (and if the pieces fall into place, performing) original country music. Nothing against covers, but I'd rather play a select few than base the band around them. I'm in my mid-forties with a family and career, so I'd rather this be an artistic outlet than a business enterprise.
~35 years' experience in music, 30 of them on bass. Live and studio experience, a little touring, with professional gear.
Some of my interests and influences: Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Boland, Silverada (Mike and the Moonpies), Zach Top, Buck Owens, Hank Sr., Ray Price, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, Willie and Waylon, etc. etc. Also pretty big on bluegrass / newgrass.
Looking primarily for a guitarist/singer for a songwriting partner at this point, but also a drummer. Fiddle and lap steel would be awesome, but I'm a realistic fellow, so I won't get my hopes up. I started on drums and played throughout my teens and twenties, so I could make the switch if need be.
