David Garside + Musician in Birmingham, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

UPDATED APRIL 2022.

I'm a songwriter / musician with extensive live and studio experience, having recorded 4 studio albums with bands and orchestral musicians.

I play guitar, piano and sing and would describe my style as chamber-pop/ art-rock.

I'm looking for musicians to showcase my material and work up new songs. Open to joining an existing band or group of musicians who have experience playing together, but I'm happy to find people individually.

Looking for:

Keyboard
Lead guitar
Lap/pedal steel guitar
Bass
Drums
Orchestral instruments - a lot of my recordings have featured strings, brass and woodwind

Vocal harmonies are a major part of the arrangements so if this is something you enjoy and feel comfortable with, I'd like to hear from you.
