Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Trombone, Steel guitar, Upright bass.ABOUT
I'm looking to join a group of people where we can play, improvising over songs, ideas and concepts.
The band I've enjoyed the most has been a Hammond trio ( Hammond / Guitar / Drums ) I'm looking forward to finding something similar but I'm quite open to any other formation.
Initially, I and I've been playing as a session musician and as a member of many different bands, and I'm looking for a group of people who would like to enjoy playing music
