Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Upright bass, Cello.ABOUT
Harrogate-based singer, songwriter, guitarist and composer - looking for a band basically. Would love to get gigging again, playing a mix of covers from Gabriel, Sting, classic rock, Coldplay, David Gray, Brandon Flowers/Killers, Chris Rea etc, just good tuneful, belting rock-pop, plus a heap of originals. Loved Nada Surf when I saw them in Leeds.
I'd like to do something way outside the standard pub canon but still rock the place to blazes. So maybe something other than Proud Mary and Mustang Sally ;-)
Looking for musos who can play and have a wide culture - basically an out of the box supergroup ;-)
If you were to push me for a setlist to kick off with:
Digging in the Dirt (Gabriel)
Solsbury Hill "
Barry Williams Show "
I Wanna Get Lost With You (Stereophonics)
Crossfire (Flowers)
If I Ever Lose My Faith in You
Bubbles (Biffy) (Maybe not the 7/8 jam at the end for the moment)
A Man for All Seasons (Zimmer/Williams)
Road to Hell (Rea)
Englishman in New York
Synchronicity II
Romeo and Juliet and other classic Knopfler
Some Bowie, John Mayer, Free, Zeppelin, KT Tunstall, The War on Drugs.
Broad church, I know but great songs.
Get together once a week and see how we get on.
So, looking for bass, keys, another guitar, drummer .. whatever really.
Be nice to add in some backing vocals too.
Happy to share vocals and songwriting and keen to get a band's ideas on arranging my own stuff.
I don't care how old or young you are or how many heads you have. Looking for nice cats to make incredible music with.
So, covers would be great with a view to gradually filling out the set with originals.
Acoustic (6-string, 12-string, classical) or electric (Semi, strat, solid body).
Couple of songs on streaming. On the mellow side ... in the absence of a band, hence the ad :-)
Happy to meet up for a beer first to talk music, if you like.
