Accomplished jazz/jam trio looking for female vocalist to do jazz pieces, Velvet Underground songs, and various other stylings. We rehearse 2 nights a week in Brecksville

I am a bass player with lead/harmony vocals from Alliance,OH looking for a steady working band. I can play country, classic rock, jazz, even polkas! I can read chord charts very well(fake books for jazz charts)and can learn material from recordings. Would like a band preferably in Stark county, Canton area, but if you're going on the road and gonna make $$, I'm your man!. Would like to keep driving to a minimum to practice. I can play as many nights as you want. I have pro gear and a PA also. NEED TO WORK! call me JIM 330-206-0263 email: elmohoof@yahoo.com

We are insearch of a Bassist (regardless of age "18 Plus", race or gender) to complete a power trio. We play loud hard rock "not classic, more modern" all original, have all equitment and would like to start playing local clubs. We have about 15 orginal songs and several that are in the process of being completed. Both of us do have stage experience with other bands. We have more than enough for a strong set.

What we would like in a bassist:
Reliability to committ to a Three to four hour practice once a week.
To be on time!!!!!! We have lives outside of this and dont want to waste time.
Your own rig.
The effort to get real tight.

All songs will be yours to add your own touch, both of us can play bass, but this is not a control situation "you play this, because we wrote it" kind of deal.
We do play with distortion and are hard hitting and hope you can add the punch were looking for, but WE ARE NOT A METAL BAND. Note: both of us have been playing for a good couple of years but are not, you know, into theroy or jazz players, we just try to write melodic songs that sound cool. Stupid I know. Ha Ha. If your interested please contact me and I can send you a couple of rough demos done a couple of years ago. Like I said we would like to start playing out within the next couple of months, sooner than later.

No vibing guarented, we are willing to work with you if you are willing to work with us!!!!!

Looking for female vocalist that has a love of jazz, latin, Brazilian, African, and funk styles. This music is to be incorporated into a concept for Discovery Channel TV series pilot. A lot of soundscape for sound tracks. Some live band performances with multimedia. Write me with your phone number and I can get into more detail. This is something different!!!

I’m an experienced bass player seeking a permanent band project. Ideally, the music styles I would prefer to play would be: Funk, R&B, Motown, Fusion, Jazz and/or Latin styles. But I also have played and am proficient at: Blues, Classic & Modern Rock, Disco, and 80’s. I’m open to any music that drives my emotions, and that I’m passionate about. And I will be more than willing to play in a band in any of those genres, if the situation is right.

I would be open to any band configuration. I’ve played in power trios, as well as, full bands with a brass section. If it fits the music and style, I’ll be happy to play regardless of the amount of instruments in the band.

I do have a music education, and can read chord charts very well, as well as, bass staff. However, I don’t let the “theory” get in the way, as I consider myself a “feel” bassist… playing by ear and creating by what feels good and sounds good.

All in all, I’m a serious musician looking to play with other serious musicians, but who also knows how to have fun enjoying music. I always conduct myself in a professional manner. I don’t show up late, drink at a show, use any drugs, and am always totally prepared for the scheduled show. I live in the greater Cleveland area, but will travel if the situation is right.

If this listing strikes you, and if I sound like someone you’d like in your band, send me an email. I can provide my playing experience, song list, and any additional info. Thanks.

Greetings,

I am a 25-year-old bassist, with eight plus years experience, who is looking for a drummer for a new musical project. The range of influence for the project is going to be left wide open including any or all of the following, Rock, Jazz, Metal, Blues, Acoustic, Indie, Alternative and many more.

The idea is to solidify the rhythm section and build the project through a strong drum and bass connection. We currently have three members, guitar, bass and vocals. However, we will be looking to implement other instrumentation as the music dictates.

If this sounds like a slightly good time then lets make it happen.

Guitarist, Vocalist and Songwriter Rik Emmett joined a newly formed hard rock trio called Triumph in 1975. By '79 three albums had gone gold and platinum in Canada - two of these charted in the States, receiving serious radio airplay. By '81, they were firmly established as one of the premier touring rock acts in North America, with generous FM radio airplay support and heavy rotation on the fledgling MTV cable channel.

Rik Emmett has won awards from Best Guitarist at the '81 Junos to Best Smooth Jazz Guitarist in 2005. His induction into the Canadian Rock Hall of Fame in '93, the Music Industry Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Junos Hall of Fame in 2008 are highlights in an ever-evolving career. Rik brings his experience, integrity and unmatched vocal and guitar talent to The Winchester for a "Strung Out Troubadours" performance as a duo with Dave Dunlop.

There will be two shows tonight: 7:00pm and 10:00pm. Tickets for each show are $20.00.
