SEEKING
Bass Guitar.ABOUT
We are friends who have played together in over the last 15 years,some of us have done the top forty venue in the past and still love to play music. This rendition is a Blues/R&B/Motown with some classic rock where we take tunes we like and do mostly our own arrangement with the instruments available. We consist of a female vocalist with your basic lineup of guitar, bass, drums and keys.I am mainly a guitar player but medical issues have reduced my regular guitar playing so I'm playing mainly keys and slide guitar but also blues harp and lead vocal's.
Update:
We lost our good friend and drummer to a heart attack just a year after Covid hit, but have just recently found a replacement who fits perfectly. We do not really gig out, (there is always exceptions), we're just a garage band. We get together as often as time permits, 1 to 2 times a week if we can.
