r/AustinMusicians

Hey everyone! We’re starting a new band and currently have a vocalist and bassist.
We’re still in the early stages, but we want to make this an active band regular practices, playing together, and eventually performing live.
We’re currently looking for:
-Drummer
-Guitarist
-Keyboard player
Other musicians who might be a good fit
We’ll start with covers, and once we build some chemistry, we’d like to work on original music as well.
More than anything, we’re looking for people who are passionate about music and want to grow together as a band.
DM me if you’re interested!

I'm a flatpicking guitarist looking to find a few folks to play bluegrass with on a semi-regular basis. I love the CTBA (Central Texas Bluegrass Association) jams, but Sunday afternoons are tough for me to make work, so I'm hoping to put together something in the evenings instead, ideally a Friday or weekend night, every couple of weeks or so.
I'm in South Austin, so somewhere around here would be ideal, but I'm flexible. Mandolin, banjo, fiddle, dobro, or bass would be awesome, and another guitar player would be just as welcome. Trading rhythm and leads with someone sounds like a great time.
A little about me: I play a Martin D-18 and lean heavily toward Doc Watson and Tony Rice. I'm working on my lead playing and starting to sing more too. I'm not a pro by any stretch. I'm mainly trying to get better and have fun playing tunes with other people. All levels welcome; the goal is low-pressure picking, learning some songs, and maybe working up to a few standards we can play together.
If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me with what you play and what nights generally work for you. Happy to host or meet up wherever makes sense.
Thanks!
