this is my Girl
Blues in Elk Grove House Party
..
Music, video production, writting, Blues, Jazz, Apple computers,
Dancing Boy
..
Looking for players, alternates and people interested in the band
and the production company’s success.
You must;
Love the blues with jazzy hints and rocking leads.
Be willing to explore different rockin flavors
like Latin Rhythms, Funk, Jazz, Flamenco and Fusion
Listen, listen, listen and keep your eyes on the leader
Have the stamina to play for long periods of time.
Be willing to “close the place†once in a while.
Be spontaneous and willing to play a few freebies for exposure.
Have pro equipment and reliable transportation
Guitarist must be able to hold down the rhythm
with complementary cords and play leads from your heart
Drummer must keep the beat and be willing to play with brushes,
Rumba’s are a plus
You must love dynamics and help make it happen
Be at rehearsal or gigs when you say you’ll be there
Be a part of the band
, a friend with the members and want to help the band succeed
Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion but know you’re not the leader
Be professional know where your mistakes are because I won’t point them out
Know that the money is a side effect of good business
Feel free to work out your parts in rehearsals (not gigs).
Show respect
, if someone is making mistakes they know and will work on them in practice
and/or at home.
Homework is not mandatory. Listening to the music we play is.
Don’t take yourself or life too seriously.
This is not a practice band and I expect to play gigs
I expect to learn from the gigs we play
so don’t expect perfection on the first few gigs
Know that getting this all together will take some time so have a little patience.
Family is first (legitimate excuses to not be at rehearsal are forgiven)
don’t take advantage or waste our time
Be responsible for your actions and be forgiving of others.
Have your house in order
A good attitude
and a willingness to “do what it takesâ€
from all the players is the key to our success
If you have the right attitude and heart
we can work with your skill level (within reason)
I don’t want hot shots,
I want team players. When it’s all together we’ll all be hot shots
By asking for these things up front I won’t have to micro manage.
Manage yourselves and well all have a good time.
Know that I will be flexible
because life certainly has it’s difficulties and I am willing to help
or chill (within reason) until the member gets up to speed
with any of these things listed as long as we are going the right direction.
Once you’re in, you’re in,
unless you decide you don’t want to be involved or your goals change
I want to foster loyalty
by making money, being professional, honest,
flexible, understanding, and successful
I will create video’s, promo packs,
business cards, CD’s, Bio’s, Posters, t-shirts, stickers,
good music and hopefully a successful band.
Any help in these areas will be greatly appreciated.
Let’s make this a network that will stick together
for the long haul and focus on the music and success.
Above all let’s have fun.
I will do whatever it takes to make this happen
and I hope to find the right players that will do the same!!!
