So I go for months trying to find people to play music with and in the span of 2 weeks I'm playing with two different sets of people.
The one set is a band called Big Rig and the 18 Wheelers. A straight on, rock out band with members of Leslea's band Porcelain.We've had a few practices and they have been really a lot of fun...I enjoy and click well with these guys. I know with this band is only a side project, cos Porcelain is killer. I mesh well with these guys..especially the other guitar player, Blair..
The other is a guy, Tim who is very talented. Plays acoustic guitar in the Dave Mattews style. very percussive. Sings as well. His music makes me think more of what to put into it. I'm more of a 'colorist' with my electric. More tremelo, chorus, distortion, etc to his clean acoustic playing..he's a really nice guy, dedicated to his songs and such...
But I think they are going into a more Christian music slant.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I dont want to be in a praise band. He said at the beginning of all this that he was Christian, but not to let that scare me off, but he's entered one of his songs in a Christian songwriters contest that will be a national event. And knowing his work I know it'll probably win! He's already started to make plans to put a band together to play at the showcase...I just dont know how comfortable I am with this...He's brilliant really..very very good..I dont know..Opinions??
