QR Code Link to This Post
1 or 2 singer/musicians wanted to form a group to perform an eclectic mix of traditional Irish, American folk, country and Bluegrass music. Instruments needed are guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. I play all of those and also the tin whistle myself except for the fiddle but I would prefer to play the mandolin or banjo in such a group. In any case, playing a musical instrument is an absolute requirement. The only instruments I'm interested in are guitar, banjo, mandolin or fiddle and possibly bass, NO, NO, NO percussion of any kind. A strong desire to play and rock solid reliability is an absolute necessity since I do have a few connections with local establishments in my neighborhood of Bay Ridge Brooklyn and would like to be able to deliver without any problems. The type of music I envision would be in the style of the Clancy Bros, Dubliners, Kingston Trio, Flatt & Scruggs just to give you an example of the direction I would like to take. If you are interested, you may email me or phone me at show contact info
. Again I stress I am only interested in individuals who want to work to make such a group a success and not either just hangers on or even hired guns, just committed individuals. Although I do like to get together on occasion and jam, I am NOT interested in people who don't have the drive and enthusiasm to want to go out and play paid gigs when necessary so if you don’t want to eventually become part of a WORKING band don’t even think about contacting me. I also do gigs from time to time outside the NYC area like Long Island and New Jersey so the ability to travel on occasion is also important. Absolutely NO, NO, NO, NO drugs, not even weed!!!!!!!! Alcohol permitted however.
