Interested in playing gigs, making recordings. Open to anything, but I have experience in rock of all types, acoustic stuff, jazz, hip hop etc. Live hip hop group? Sure! Bluegrass trio?

Drums • Lead Guitar
I'm looking to be in a band that has spectacular dynamics and really blows people away with variety and depth of sound. I really love 1) closed, tight, restrained, muffled in the verse 2) open, free, fully bloomed in the Chorus. Basically, the loud, quiet, loud thing. I'm interested in meeting people who are serious about their love of music and wanting to do something cool with it. I love to jam, switch instruments, take turns singing songs. I play guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, and I sing. I have a strong voice and I also have a knack for harmonizing. I love improvising but I don't want to get in front of an audience and improvise, or at least JUST improvise. For a crowd I want to play songs and sound rehearsed, tight, etc. For a crowd I want to perform people pleasing songs that don't go on forever, songs that get people of all ages up on their feet and rocking out with the band. I want to show people a good time, also I want to have a good time. Playing music makes me feel great. I picture playing in a mostly original band that also plays covers. I'm confident in my ability as a musician but I'm chill. I want to be at peace with the Universe all around me. Playing in a band is a team sport (so to speak) and I am a team player. I'm looking to find the right team to travel the Bay Area (and possibly occasionally beyond) and spread the good times with us everywhere we go. I want to play in a band for performing, but also recording and making videos. I enjoy the technical aspects of sound engineering and producing videos.

Watercolor Octopus is a band currently being assembled by primary songwriters John (rhythm guitar, lead vocals, drums, some bass) and Schad (drums, rhythm guitar, some bass, some keys, whatever he can get his hands on) with the intent to write, record, and perform original music (and some covers, for fun) with a focus on integrity and just having fun making good music that (hopefully) will bring a little joy to folks in an increasingly depressing world. The current focus is on finding a bassist to join John and Schad to begin working on the rhythmic foundations of some of their songs as a 3-piece (guitar, bass, drums) before adding a solid lead guitarist, dedicated keys player, and, ideally, someone comfortable being in a kind of "super-utility" role playing extra keys, percussion, guitar, uke, banjo, bells, and whatever else a given song feels like it needs and that they can figure out how to play -- being unafraid to tackle a brand new instrument would be a must since we'd love to have a fairly large sonic palette, but also bear in mind that we don't expect you to become a master of that instrument! Just have fun and find ways to make cool noises when needed! Reach out to us for more info, including some rough demos of a handful of tunes we're working on, via: info(at)watercoloroctopusband

Drums
For the past 27 years, Ive played in various original rock bands and cover acts throughout Sacramento and the Bay Area, performing everywhere from 10,000-seat festivals to intimate bars. I am constantly pursuing new challenges to grow both as a person and as a musician, with the ultimate goal of contributing to an original rock or hard rock band that is just as dedicated to its image, business strategy, and overall organization as it is to the music. Fully locked into modern performance standards, I am entirely comfortable playing with click tracks and backing tracks, and my precise dynamic control allows me to adapt seamlessly to any room size.
