ABOUT

***Looking for a drummer and bassist to join our original alternative rock band.***

Hi there,

I’m James - my buddy, JP, and I are seeking a drummer and bassist to join our original alternative rock band. I sing lead on most of the songs, while JP does harmonies and takes the lead on some songs too. We both play guitar and I play keys/synth. I’m 34 and JP is 40. I have about 15 years experience with singing/songwriting and guitar and 25+ years experience on the piano; and I have played several hundred shows at bars and festivals. JP is a great writer and guitarist, and has been playing for over 15 years.

We’re hoping to start gigging in Montreal by the end of the summer, or sooner.

We have a jam space with a drum kit, but no bass amp. We meet once a week on Wednesday evenings (but can arrange to meet on other days if necessary).

Give the tracks below a listen and if you’d like to be a part of the band, we’d love to arrange a session! (Bear in mind the tracks are self-produced and we are not professional producers.)
