Still looking for band members. Me, guitarist/vocals, looking for bass, drums, lead guitar, and keys, and need most, if not all, to at least be able to sing harmony vocals and preferably lead vocals also. Looking for older guys 40+ even 50+ is fine. Will be playing Country/Classic Rock/and maybe some blues/rock. DO NOT WANT younger guys wanting to set the world on fire, I'm looking for guys with a day job and not in a hurry. We will play gigs, but only when the band is ready and we decide we're ready. We will probably gig only a couple of times a month at most, so if you're looking to play more than that, I'm not looking for you. No Hired guns, only group members wanted. I don't care if it takes months to get ready, I'm not in a hurry either. I've done the full time musician thing and not interested in doing that again, unless the conditions were perfect.
I have rehearsal space, PA, Lights, and Trailer to haul it all. Now just need the GOOD FRIENDS to make the music...

I've tried to make this post as clear as possible... I'm not dissing any age group or any group of musicians, just listing what I'm looking for...
Thanks for taking time to read this novel!!! LOL

do not reply to this unless you read the whole message!!!!

Six String Jazz & Friends have been invited back to Green Hills Piano. Appearing Friday evening, November 27th, a band of rowdy jazz musicians will play tunes from such composers as Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Monk, Coltrane, and others from a bygone era. Surrounded by more than a dozen fine pianos, beautifully restored to their former grandeur by Grant Houston, the band will bring life to such composers as Cole Porter, Count Basie, and Rogers and Hart that, like the pianos, were at the heart of accessible American music from the 1930s to the '50s. We play this music because it has proven its worth by surviving for many years, bringing joy and beauty to thousands of people. The core group consists of Ned Ramage, guitar, Mel Nelson, piano, Robert Wolf, drums, Hugh Bramhall, congas, Ryan Murphy, guitar, Nels Noseworthy, baritone sax, and Wayne Renardson, acoustic bass. Friends are invited to sit in. If interested in playing, contact Wayne Renardson at wayne@renardson.org for particulars or a setlist. "One man gets nothing but discord out of a piano; another gets harmony. No one claims the piano is at fault. Life is about the same. The discord is there, and the harmony is there. Study to play it correctly, and it will give forth the beauty; play it falsely, and it will give forth the ugliness. Life is not at fault." -----Oscar Wilde

I am in my early 30s and love playing. Straight forward and basic here. Lots of chops but who needs that in a song 90% of the time? Pocket is where it's at.

Just think:
Snare with brushes, cajon, djembe, small kit. Simple set up.

A perfect fit:
Acoustic pop/folk/rock. Female fronted?
Writers nights?
Simple accompaniment and maybe some weekend gigs/regional travel?
Demos or something really low key sounds great.

I have a day gig. Believe it or not it's actually in the business. I'd love to find a small group of people who get it, don't mind that I'm REALLY busy with life...but DO practice and keep my chops up. Money is fine, coffee is fine. It's all good.

Non-smoker/non-drinker. Just a laid back, friendly former pro who wants to play a bit...

Jazz
Folk
Pop
Americana
Soul
Gospel
R/B
CCM


These are a few of my favorite things....

Your turn. :)

Happy music making friends and hope to hear from you!

We are an established, four piece (two guitars, bass, and drums), hard rock Christian band from Nashville, TN called STRAIGHT EDGE. We are seeking to find a guitarist that can also sing great second part high harmonies. We need someone that plays rock solid rythym, harmony leads, is a quick study (does his homework), and has a legitiment "Marshall" sound to blend with the first guitar and reproduce the CD's sound. You MUST be able to hear and sing second part/tenor very well!!!

A little bit about us... we usually perform our ALL-ORIGINAL show on weekends within a 400 mile radius of Nashville. We play festivals, churches, youth rallies, biker events, civic events, showcase clubs, fund raisers, benefits, and virtually any venue that seeks a hard rock band with a positive message. We have our first debut CD recorded and three more CDs worth of material to finish. We currently have a clear and focused vision, rehearsal space, recording equipment, loads of material, full PA and lighting, large truck for transportation, a manager, a sound engineer, a lighting tech, full promo kit, merchandise table, and lofty ambitions with realistic goals. We are shooting for national radio airplay and building a mighty ministry. We rehearse once a week at the founding member's home studio in Lebanon, TN (just east of Nashville). We are a well-oiled machine that takes our ministry very seriously. We are all veteran players with years worth of experience, equipment, and resources that allow us to be very professional and put on a seasoned, inspiring stage show. We all have families and good day jobs, but, we are pushing our group towards full-time ministry. Presently, we are covering our expenses and building the band. We don't expect you to PAY TO PLAY, just get to rehearsal. There's not much money now, but, we believe there will be some in the future. If you're wanting to join this project just to make money, you're not what we're looking for.

The right candidate for our band will have the following characteristics:
- A "calling" to serve with their talents and gifts
- Great chops
- Professional gear and tone
- Great attitude
- Great vocal abilities
- Good stage presense and image
- No ego issues
- Reliable transportation
- The time and resources to be a dedicated, "sold out" member of a professional band.

This is the criteria we're looking for. If you don't have it, don't bring it!

This is a great project, loaded with potential for someone to get involved with and push for the brass ring. We take our band very seriously. We are a band of Christian brothers set on building a vast ministry and we're needing someone to join our ranks, sign on to the vision, and dedicate themselves to becoming a mighty bandmate for God.

After reading about this position do you feel a "calling" to procede further?? You may be the man God has ordained to be our next member. Research our group thoroughly at www.myspace.com/str8edgerocks.

If you think you have what it takes to be a part of our ministry and would like to set up an audition, contact us at str8edgerocks@gmail.com or call directly and ask for Mark @ 615-483-3130. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Thanks for taking your time to hear about our group. Hopefully, you've been stirred to go forth and seek the position and you will fit our vision perfectly. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Blessing to you,
STRAIGHT EDGE "Rock for a Reason!!!" Isaiah 42:16

A group of local jazz musicians will be playing standards/Real Book
tunes during the opening week of Green Hills Piano, a new place in
Green Hills. Located at 4117 Hillsboro Rd, Grant Houston plans to
provide the community with fine older pianos from the early twentieth
century.

As Grant put it, "It is the recycling of true American
craftsmanship. These pianos are built and rebuilt in America
by Americans,predominantly from the production era from the end of WWI to the start of WWII, a time regarded as 'the 'golden age' of the American piano. These pianos are not 'used' but have been made new again---new throughout."

We will be playing Friday night November 6th from six until
ten PM,and Saturday night same time. We currently have a half-dozen
players(bass, drums, guitar, trumpet, sax)for Friday and we would
like a few more piano players who might be interested in playing
jazz on a grand old piano from more than a century ago.

Looking for Group members. Not employees. wanting to put together a group for part time fun and a few extra $$$$. If money is your main objective then we don't need you. I'm looking for members that like to hang together regardless of whether there's a gig or not. We WILL play out, but the group will decide when and where. We'll be playing rockin' country/classic rock/blues/and originals.

Every member should bring something musically to the table and hopefully vocals. I don't expect instrumental virtuosos, but need everyone to be proficient at their instrument. You don't have to read charts, or music. Just love to play the type music we'll be playing and want to have a good time with others that do.

You can have other solo or band projects, as I will. and If you do have a seperate solo act and need one or more of us to play for you, you might be able to talk us into that too! I will have a rehearsal space, PA, and Lighting available for the group. If you're interested or have an idea shoot me a message. At this point I'm the only member. We need Lead Guitar, bass, drums, keys and/or steel. The Rehearsal Studio is ready to go!

Rehearsal will be in the Bell Rd./Smith Springs Rd. Area
