Jam Band / Hard rock Musicians Wanted (Anywhere Houston)
Shot in the dark but I'm looking for any like-minded musicians that have similar music tastes and would like to get together and see what happens. I'm 53, been playing bass since I was 18 or 19. I've picked up other instruments along the way but Bass guitar is my go-to (also moderate levels of vocals). I didn't go to music school but I am passionate about music and desire to play with others who have musical awareness- i.e. we listen to each other closely, improvise, or plan it out (or both). I love Dark gloomy old school heavy metal but also jam bands that create space and take you on a ride. I am particularly obsessed with Geezer. I love the mix of songwriting, killer musicianship, energy, and chemistry those guys display. I love heavy metal bands, but I do not want to throw a few chords together and repeat for 20 minutes (unless the dynamics are tasteful and interesting lol). I appreciate a balance of good songwriting, dynamic shifts, syncopation, energy, and overall tightness within a group.
I'll add that I've worked in studios and live venues that have solid recording rigs. So there's a lot of potential for creating music and getting it out there. Also already know the lay of the land (for the most part) here in H-town. Getting decent gigs wouldn't be an issue as I feel I'mvery out spoked and communicating isn't an issue.
I am semi retired have a job that is flexable and have two kids over 18 years old that can take care of them selfs, I a single parent that did the mom dad city hall just about there whole life. So music is important to me as I stay away from crazy relationships that will hinder my practice schedule. Not looking for any insane commitment, but let's see if this sparks any interest and we can chat more.
Would love to lock in a solid rhythm section first (drums, keys adding a lead guitarist), but if this post interests you and you sing, play sax/trumpet/bone, or guitar feel free to hit me up! Sorry for the novel! I'm trying to articulate as best I can find what I and you are looking for! Hard Rock-On to you all and stay safe out there its gonna be a cold weekend coming but rain sleet or shine im there with all great gear.
