I have written a dozen new instrumentals that will be coming out on CD late this year. Most of these songs require at least a trio to properly perform them.
Are you looking for something that is new, original and not the same old thing everyone is doing? You just might like this band a lot! We will be two acoustic guitars and conga drums performing some rather intricate and demanding arrangements.
This trio will also feature dead-on 3-part vocals so, strong vocal ability is a must. If you also play bass or are a multi-instrumentalist, and if your guitar playing is up to speed, you will have an edge.
A great keyboard player will be my Plan B.
I write parts that challenge and interest me. So the accompaniment parts should be interesting for you to play. Listen to "The Storm" or "Heavy In The Middle" or "Walkin' Song" for some samples. They're on my MS profile page.
The band will also play carefully selected cover tunes that are usually completely rearranged to the point of an original work. "Summer Breeze", "Europa", "Horse With No Name" are cases in point.
You can also depend on me to showcase the abilities of a great player, like you. I love showing off good musicians. Consequently, you can find yourself up-front, singing lead, playing lead and/or having the band perform your song. The band may carry my name but I prefer if it is not always all about me. That is my nature. I love showing people what great musicians I can attract. So, you see, I have an ulterior motive. The better you are, the better I look; the better we all look; plain and simple.
I am about the music, the arrangement, the chord alteration, the whole new lead that makes a song sonically and harmonically pleasing to the ear. I have an excellent sense for what works. If you do too, this will be very, very fun and musically rewarding.
This will take time. Patience and hard work are virtues. Let's get started.
