I need a GUITARIST or KEYBOARDIST. That can get to work right away & LOVES to play. For DUO. Maybe add STAND-UP or electric bass. SING too if you like.
GOAL - I wanna get back out live & sing my guts out, beautiful & soulful Eva Cassidy stuff, blues-jazz, jazz-rock, rock-folk, covers and make stuff up, because life in a box sucks. Your poet and other performing friends should come sit in frequently. Bring your alternate project CD's and stuff to hawk,too.
VENUES -Jazz Breakfast, coffeehouse, people's houses, small receptions in Portland area.
REQUIRED - life, humor, chops, at least SOME weirdness.
MY EXPERIENCE - I sing and write melody and lyrics, have booked tons of gigs and sung everything from small public and private venues (Eva, JT, Billie) to function bands to blues(Rockland Blues Festival)to recording with Berklee musicians (www.dukkhasnemesis.com) to invading Bubba's as Robert Plant/Janis Joplin/AC-DC (who all had the same alien invading their high naso-laryngal range).
BACK TO EARTH - Coffeehouse stuff is more subdued, of course. Just know that you can find ways to get crazy even in that setting, without even letting people know you're getting crazy.
