Mike H + Musician in North Vancouver, BC

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi, I am a Vancouver based lead/ rhythm guitarist, back-up vocalist. I am available to join an established band, or form a band from scratch with musicians experienced in a band situation previously, and are actively writing modern ORIGINALS ONLY. A casual, fun experience, as I have a career and other interests, but am open to short live tours, and recording also. Link below to 20 rough demo's of my own songs.

These rough demo's I made over the years by myself, in my home studio on a DAW and on an IPad. I am not necessarily looking to use these songs, unless you feel we can update and improve them. I also have a Midi Guitar to play countless instruments and synthesizers. Please no Hair/Glam Metal, retro and garage rock, or pop music. Let's try something different if that's possible. Looking for musicians who collaborate fully between all people in the band, male or female, and hopefully the possibility of a good friendship developing. People who are able to rehearse at least once a week if available, have good gear, and a vehicle to get to rehearsals and gigs. If you are familiar with working on a computer DAW, even better. Please no substance addicts, or people who are image oriented. I don't care what you look like, as long as you can play well and with feeling. I have many guitars and amps for different scenarios, a daytime job, and a useful pick-up truck. Hopefully you are financially able to contribute to rehearsal space rental, or a proper sound attenuated lockout space if things work out. I am 58 years old, a self taught musician , and I don't read music tabs or charts. Please forward a full description of yourself, and some recorded samples of previous work. If you would like to talk directly, please call me at 604-780-3415.
Thanks
