Original Jam band anyone?
Yo Seattle! Just moved here. I'm a 35 year old guitarist/singer looking for some people to jam/potentially start band with. I'm mostly interested in writing originals and doing a lot of improvising, also some covers here and there that fit the vibe.
Some of my biggest influences are Phish, Grateful Dead, King Gizzard, Louis Cole/Knower, The Jauntee, The Meters, Herbie Hancock, Vulfpeck, Boredoms, Ween, and many more. Recently been liking Dogs in a Pile as well in terms of jams.
I'd love to find people who are into funky grooves, pocket, proggy multi-movement song structures, genre hopping, type ii jamming and the kind of songs where everyone gets to contribute instead of just playing over each other or trading solos. I really like bands where all the parts fit together and everyone is listening and reacting. Love experimenting with effects as well.
Looking for drums, bass, keys, and maybe another guitarist if you can play both lead/rhythm and like the idea of interlocking parts and harmonizing from time to time.
I'm hoping to find experienced musicians who are comfortable improvising. Not looking for virtuosos necessarily (but a plus) just people with good time, good pocket, and good ears. Serious musicians who don't take themselves too seriously.
I'd like this to be pretty democratic where everyone can bring ideas to the table. Goal is to write music that's fun to play and fun to listen to, and can take off in unexpected directions.
If that sounds like your thing, hit me up. Let's jam!
