Bonjour,

I'm a guitarist/vocalist who plays in a rock/pop ensemble, but we're about to go on a hiatus, so I'm looking to start something else up to keep me playing throughout the time off.

I also pick around on banjo and mandolin, and I'm really looking to have a wide variety of instruments involved in this project, and to have people switch up their instruments to achieve differing sounds on songs. Other instruments I'd like to hear would be another guitar, piano or organ, some fiddle, bass, drums, accordian, harmonica, Dobro, and if you can sing and harmonize, that's a big bonus too.

Now when I say country, I don't mean Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts type shit. My major current influence is The Band, but I also quite enjoy Iron & Wine, Two Gallants, Band Of Horses etc...

I'm 23 and looking to play with people around the same age, male or female. If this interests you at all, drop me a line at mitchvinet *at* G Mail, and we'll have a jamboree. - Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:42am

Bump.

There will be free beer available at all jams.

You don't even have to be interested in joining the band, it can just be a casual jam if that's your thing.

Sorry, no lap steel skills here. And yes, the free beer thing was a ruse. You should be a detective.

JT, I see you're looking for a drummer right now. What's the name of your outfit? - Sun, 20 Apr 2008 4:19pm

I play drums, and I'm into "southern/bluegrassy/countryish elements", I'm from the south originally and enjoy 'southern' sounding things.

I enjoy rock, funk, reggae, ska, blues, bluegrass, folk, jazz, r&b to name a few.

Anyone else interested in a hootenanny? - Mon, 21 Apr 2008 3:39pm
