SSW Looking For Others To Form Band in Central NJ (Union, Somerset, Hunterdon, Warren)
Singer / Songwriter looking for other musicians to write / release music with. I'm *not* looking for a backing band - I'm looking to create a band with other singer / songwriters / musicians. I want everyone to contribute and bring a wide variety of styles into one project. I am influenced by 90's rock (Tonic, Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Sister Hazel, & Toad The Wet Sprocket). I have 30+ songs written (if a 'starting block' is needed), but I'd like the band to get tight and then write as a group. I'm married, drug free, and not looking for stardom -- just a fun musical outlet. Email me for samples.

I can fill the holes in Burlington County
Seasoned lead guitarist with A room experience looking for a position in a band that plays at least some of the better rooms in NJ & PA. I can also add guitar synth and sampling when the need arises and prefer to do all three. I can add all the stuff that's now missing in your sound. I prefer to not do material every other cover band does and I'm equally adept at M/F music. Not interested in originals, Blues or people with bad dynamics.
