SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I am currently doing part time University and have available time for music.
I am a BASS PLAYER looking for a gig in an ORIGINAL BLUES BAND.
I am happy to JOIN or FORM A NEW BAND with like minded people.
I would also consider a COVERS BAND. Most of the gigs I have played have been in covers bands.
MY PERSONALITY PROFILE
I am conservative, married, non-smoker, don't drink, do drugs and am not 'woke'.
I have a Masters Degree in Cyber Security, I am doing a Computer Science degree and Graduate Diploma in Mathematics.
I am an average bass player attracted to blues because you can do it at any age, and I like it. (It would be a bad joke trying to do teen pop at my age!)
I am very well organized and will put together a web site, collect fan email addresses and mobile numbers, do effective marketing, Record and produce our material, get a distribution deal for us. Organize videos and photography, put out press releases. Book gigs. I have some money of put into promotion of the band and generally make the most of what we have.
I have professional project managements qualifications and experience. I have worked on large and complex projects in computing and these skills work well when applied to the music industry.
