Influences

The 1300 songs fall in many genres. The ones I want to perform are influenced by Motown, Stax, Muscle shoals. Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Van Morrison, maybe Beatles. Brass and sax, back up singers, good bass, piano/keys and rhythm/minimal lead guitar. Up beat, danceable, sing along to.

Members Of Band

Me (Tim) Vocals, Rhythm/minimal lead guitar and some keys
My brother (Sandy) Bass (back ing vocals) can play keys and guitar.
That's it so far, feeling my way, as new to this site. Thought I'd put it out to the universe and see what comes back :-) Don't know about practice/gigs etc at this point. May be around Northern beaches/Lower North shore for practice.

EQUIPMENT

Not sure if this is what I am looking for or have. Have Aria guitar and Fender amp and Yamaha electric piano, bass and amp. Can buy certain needed items. timatoctagonalbasedotcom
