Anyone interested in starting an original band? I'm 26, play guitar and keys, sing a little and write songs. Willing to do any genre but I love rock. DM if interested

Any good beginner friendly jam session spots.

I've been playing guitar on and off for about ten years. Been recently picking it back up again and looking for beginner friendly jam sessions to help me develop and play with others. I am pretty solid with playing the pentatonic scale in any key and can also play rhythm with some direction knowing chord progressions in the key beforehand.

Any musicians / bands / songwriters looking for a female singer?

Hi! I’m a singer looking for people to collaborate with! I grew up performing and worked with a couple of bands in my early 20s. I’m 32 now, living in New Orleans, and I miss music! I lean folk/pop, but I’m open! I’m listening to Bríet, Florrie, Of Monsters & Men, a lot lately. Songwriting is an area where I’ve never felt super confident, but I’ve worked really well collaborating with a strong songwriter.

I would love to hear from anyone who might be interested in working together!

Into making some upbeat/power metal?

Looking to find some people interested in playing happy, fantasy-style power metal. Think Helloween, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Dragonforce (maybe with less excessive shredding), Rhapsody of Fire. I’m a bassist (and guitarist secondarily), looking for everyone else— someone better at guitar than me, a singer, a drummer (I know, who isn’t looking for a drummer constantly), keys wouldn’t be bad. Would be okay if this was even mostly a studio sort of project but definitely wouldn’t mind playing some shows. Main thing is positive vibes, no fash metal, all elves everything.

Work in progress for a particular sense of what I’m thinking:

Yo you play drums?

Cross posting here but my band needs a drummer because ours is moving out of the city in August and we want to play together with the new drummer a few times before they leave.

It's a blast, the community is cool, hopefully in the next year or two we'll go on tour and play to several adoring fans

Selling my Taylor 114ce Acoustic Electric Guitar + gig bag + capo

Hey all,

I don't know if this is the place to post this or not, but I am selling my acoustic on FB marketplace and wanted to reach out to everyone on here too.

Taylor 114ce - $700

100% original A+ showroom condition

Including a gig bag and capo. Originally $1,000, asking for $700.

By far the best sounding acoustics I've owned under $3,500, but I've been caught up with work and sadly don't have the time to play it as much anymore.

Taylor 114ce video

Body: African Mahogany

Neck: Tropical Mahogany

Top: Solid Sitka Spruce

Fingerboard & bridge: Ebony

This pre-pandemic 2020 version is made from (mahogany body) compared to its latest version (walnut). Feel free to come by and check it out or ask any additional questions / ask for more pictures.

What’s up y’all, bass player here looking for a drummer for playing all original stuff, mixed with a bit of spontaneous composition.

Genre is a hodgepodge of funk, acid blues, jazz, avant-garde sound scapes. My musical intentions are to explore and create. Mainly posting for a drummer but wouldn’t mind other like-minded individuals to join in. Horns, woodwinds, percussion…whatever. I have a guitar player that I’ve written a lot of songs with so….got that covered. I’m looking for an organic drummer that isn’t obsessed with being overly technical or playing as fast as possible with all the licks. I need one who doesn’t sound like they got all their chops from a textbook...someone who is comfortable exploring the unfamiliar and can hold a pocket like the drummer from khruangbin with the creativity of billy martin.

No fiddles. No fedoras. No french.

Hunting for jazz player/s to host a genuine jazz night at a Westbank bar. Budget is low, as are expectations. Maybe just some hang time for some musicians to hang out and sit in. Coltrane, Miles style. (I like trad jazz, but it has its venues.)

Hey! We're Old 40 out of Denver, CO. We'll be on the road in May and we have a spot held at Gasa Gasa for 5/19 and we just need local support to play the show. We play Americana, Country Bluegrass, Alt Rock. I'll leave a link to our music below but we've played with many different genres so we aren't sticklers for anything. Thanks so much!

Divine Mother by The Rileybirds

This song is about the Divine Mother all around and inside each of us. It is a soul-filled, funky prayer 🔥🙏🏻 that holds the essence of our 🧘 10-day meditation/honeymoon trip to Bali: “Still your thoughts, free your mind. All you gotta do is be the love you are inside.”

Part of the practice we follow in yoga is giving back the love we receive. In this spirit and the spirit of Divine Mother, a portion of all the proceeds this song generates will go to “Ramana’s Garden”🥕 an orphanage for children in need. That means every time you listen to this song you will ❤️ BE THE LOVE ❤️

If you feel called you can also like us on Facebook and check our website, Rileybirds.com for some sweet shirts 👚 and tank-tops 🏃. Your purchase or any merchandise will also give back to children in need.

Finally, take care our Earth. 🌎 She is Divine Mother to all of us. Do your part. 🌱
