ABOUT

JI live in Claremont and can be contacted at 0422 603 742 Just in it for fun but been playing since I was 16. Knock around Fremantle Perth and Balga mainly. The GarageBand sample is thrown together,. Like to work on bluesy grooves and write songs. Play electric guitar based on finger style blues rock with a bit of Chicago and Mississippi Hill Country style thrown in. Maybe I am trying to sound like Junior Kimbrough mixed with Lou Reed. Would like to meet solid elderly bass player and also drummer, possibly others, on similar wavelength and have some fun do jams and open mics round Perth. Don't have to be maestros - I'm certainly not one. Keeping good time and sounding cool and funky is the main thing. Happy with avoiding loads of gear and not being too flash. Still standing upright. You only iive once. Never say die. I have a Macbook/GarageBand based four track setup to practice in headphones and record.

Influences

Many influences but always say (electric) blues. Chicaago and North Missiissipi attract me Muddy and Kimbrough but I like Lou Reed and souther rock too. I write a lot of my own stuff, play an elective finger drone style and can manage simple solos in between vocals. I need a strong bass.

Instrument experience:

Vocalist - Tenor:: Moderate
Rhythm Guitar:: Moderate

EQUIPMENT

Epiphone Casino Coupe a busker amp with voice input and overdrive on guitar input. My four input interface with Garage Band for headphone live practice could create practice space without bugging the neighbors. I tend to use Garage Band settings in the headphone set up and like British Warm (Vox?) for rhythm and Fat Amp for lead. At the moment I dub in my own Ibanez bass guitar plus drum pad recording off a mini keyboard for practice recording. I want to play live with a pure bass player and drummer on a mix of covers and own stuff.
