Quick gig, ISO guitarist & singer

Hey all - I am in the early stages of trying to put this together but basically I am looking for a guitarist/singer to perform ONE SONG on a March afternoon outside the Justice of the Peace, precinct 5 in downtown Austin. My preference is to have a female voice singing, and I am not opposed to having two people collaborate (guitarit + singer). As you might guess, I am getting married and would like surprise my wife by having this song play as we exit the building. There will be few to no people there on our behalf, but maybe some other randoms lingering about. The song I'd like to have played is The Rope, by Lane 8... yes, I know what you're thinking but it can't be that hard to convert into guitar notes, right?

If you think you could be a fit, please shoot me a DM and we can go from there.

Also, if this is not the right place for this post and you've got a better idea for me, I'm all ears. Thanks AustinMusicians!

North Austin Keyboard

41 year old guitarist, singer and songwriter looking for a keyboard, piano or synth player in the more northern part of the Austin area (Cedar Park, Leander, Lago Vista, Round Rock etc). I'm into indie, alternartive, rock, pop, metal and EDM. If you sing and write songs too, that's even better! I can share some samples of my playing, singing, writing etc. Can be casual and fun at first, but I am hoping to be able to write, record and play out eventually. Thanks for reading!

Any younger alternative indie producers?

Hey everyone, I'm super inspired by people like dijon, mk.gee, and mac demarco (just to name a few). I love to produce and record music and I'd love to hang out with other with the same taste in music.

Is there anyone else on here with the same taste that is into music production? Pm me if you want to hear some stuff.

Long shot for a life long dream

Hi folks, first of all, apologies for coming off as a typical tourist, but hear me out: I’m a country artist from way over the pond in Germany. I’ve been playing mainly clubhouse shows for MCs made of Americans since there’s really no crowd for country music in rural Germany. But I’ve been saving up to go to the US, specifically Austin, for a year now and this year I’ll be over. Now my biggest dream would be to play a few songs over at yours. Not a full show, just a few songs at an open mic or something. If anybody would have an open slot between April 30th and May 4th, please let me know! It would literally mean the world to me.

I can play originals and/or covers, whatever is needed. I’m more 70s/80s oriented, so Waylon, Paycheck, etc. is what my repertoire is made of. One of my originals is linked down below.

https://open.spotify.com/track/4RI894P6rsq5NxlepZjv76?si=cLV5lbf2SFuyv01XskuXRQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0qjA5RzalPSKLLSOivDoiX

I’m gonna need a guitar and a mic, because bringing stuff would be way too expensive (at least for me).

For real, if anybody could help me out, I’ll buy you beers all night long🤝

Local resources for learning digital music production?

Hi guys, I'm in the Austin area and I've been trying to teach myself how to set up/use a DAW specifically for making music digitally in something like Cakewalk, especially trying to learn the best way to use my MIDI keyboard with this workstation as well. I've been trying to use videos but for whatever reason it's just not clicking with me. Perhaps I'm being impatient because music otherwise has always clicked with me, I've done a lot of symphony playing and choral performance but the tools for this make me so much more frustrated than sitting down with a real instrument. I think I really need to have some in person experience with someone that knows what they're doing. I've looked at places like ACC for courses and Meetup to see if there was anything specific but nothing really looked relevant. Any suggestions for in person resources?

ISO Keyboardist/Pianist

Our pianist moved to San Antonio last year and I deeply miss keys in the band. Anyone in town interested in filling his shoes?

Our band is TV Wonder! Here are our socials and music:

We're a rock band, but jazz + improvisational skills are huge as we venture into that genre every so often.

Rap Producer

Looking for Rap Producer to collaborate with. Must be skilled enough to make and tweak beats with me in the room. Probably need to have a dark and comical view of the world. I will hopefully offer tight lyrics, themes, and moods to the songs. Looking to speed up the music making process and make it less draining with some synergy. Also open to making straight hits as long as you don't take yourself too seriously.

Here is a song of mine
