Hello everyone! I am a 34M guitarist and emo/scream/pop punk enthusiast. I am looking to start a cover band with the hope of eventually playing local gigs. I'd love to jam with any musician who enjoys these genres and is easy going. I am an intermediate guitar player that can play lead or rhythm. I can do backing vocals, too, but it's been a long time since I've played and sang, so admittedly, I'd need to brush up on that a little. I'm thinking bands like Taking Back Sunday, Cartel, Fall Out Boy, MCR, etc.
Ultimately, I see all these 70s/80s cover bands performing at local bars and fests, and I would like to put together a band that appeals to the 30- and 40-year old crowd with the tunes we grew up on.
Any level of musicianship is appreciated! I know the pressures of showing up to a practice session and trying to put songs together on the fly isn't for everyone, so we can establish the songs we want to practice ahead of time so everyone is prepared and feeling comfortable. This is all about fun and jamming, so no pressure at all if you are interested!
Thanks,
Colton
