Hello. I'm a singer-songwriter looking for guitarists, a bassist, keyboard/pianist, saxophonist, and drummer for some music projects I have. The type of music I'm doing will be a hybrid of hard rock/metal with funk, gospel, r&b, soul, and a little bit of country thrown in. I have about 90 songs that I've written so far. I'm looking for people who are interested in this type of music and want to give it a try. Musicians who can also sing would be a bonus but it's not a requirement.
