new band
I joined a second band this week. The first band is a three-piece (guitar+bass (me)+drums) and it is a rock jam-style band (we never play the same song the same way twice and frequently we make up songs on the spot)....all originals. The second one is a five-piece (guitar+keys+bass+drums+vocalist) and is a blues/rock/alternative format. We are doing about 80% covers for now, but the originals are very promising. The vocalist has a great voice, very bluesy alto with years of smoking under her belt for that added texture required for blues. She sounds kind of like a cross between Tina Turner and whatever the lead singer for 4 Non Blondes (remember...."and I said hey hey hey hey...hey hey hey what's goin' on"). We're hoping to start booking places SOON and if it works out do a recording project later in the year. I'm just happy to be playing the majority of the nights of the week. =)
