LB is also a nascent small studio owner, engineer and producer. If you're a female singer-songwriter who writes and plays an instrument, I want to record you. I have a SONAR-centered (producer's edition) home studio with amps, mics, pedals, basses, guitars, weighted pro keyboard etc...
We're looking for another female guitarist who can also sing lead and background vocals WELL for our acoustic band (of drums, bass and guitar) called HONEYBROWNE. We play old and new soul, covers and originals. I also host a MONTHLY GIRL JAM at my little home studio, Lady Brown's Child, where female instrumentalists and vocalists get together and play whatever moves us. This loose collective is called HONEYBROWNE DELUXE. The core members of HoneyBrowne Deluxe are Andrea "Bam Bam" Jones on drums, Monica Dillon keys and vocals, Danie Ocean on guitar and vocals, Julia Kent on bass, keys and vocals, and FUNKYLB on guitar and bass.
