Biography
I've been in a few different bands ranging many different musical genres. Right now, I am really interested in the potential of a bluegrass band (like Alison Krauss and Union Station) because I feel it would really suit my voice. However, I am not narrow minded and really just want to be involved in something beautiful.
I'm very dedicated to getting something established. I love to perform, record and am willing to work. Hoping to find other musicians with the same goals in mind.

Casey's the name. Any other label would be questionable. i play guitar in a band named Reaching Scarlet and am always looking for that next great gig. Sigh.

Biography
Well, I have been playing guitar for six years, I also play keyboard (I'm certainly more adept with a synthesizer than with a piano, though), I also dabble around with the bass guitar and with some conga drums and such. I am a huge fan of Dispatch and of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I also really enjoy bands like Dave Matthews Band, Incubus, Led Zeppelin, and groups like that. I like to think that I'm pretty open-minded with music, the only real genre I can't handle is screaming metal (stuff like that, at least). I enjoy acoustic music as well as electric-based music, and I play both the acoustic and electric guitars. I think my voice sounds a lot like Chad Urmston from Dispatch, but I'm not sure how I feel about that. I try to keep my style unique to me and not like anyone else's. I really enjoy rap music as well, I listen to artists like Ludacris, Jay-Z, Outkast, etc. all the time. I would say my musical style is kind of a funky acoustic-rock, and I have a natural talent for fitting into whatever style the people I'm playing with happen to have. I love just playing music with people and jamming out, it's my favorite thing in the world.

Biography
I have been playing guitar for about 11 years and bass for about 3. I've been doing a bit of singing for the past year or so, as well.
Writing, playing, and recording are easily my favorite pastimes, and I have an album available at http://music.dorgetheband.com/. I'd love to get a full band together and start playing around town.
I was in a cover band starting in high school until about 2 years ago, so I have plenty of experience playing with a band and playing for an audience.
Major influences include Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Pearl Jam, and many, many more.

Biography
Mid-life thin guy with soul and hair. Singing since 1st grade. Guitar player since high school. Appreciate all styles, prefer modern/classic rock/folk in the rock blues style. Lead vocal, rhythm guitar strengths, although I enjoy guitar solos, and I play a little bass too, when feeling low down and man-ly.
Professionals similar in style would be Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Robert Cray ... fan of prog-classic Jethro Tull, Steely Dan, Wishbone Ash, Gentle Giant/early Kansas/Dixie Dreggs, plus the legends like Jimi, Zep, Floyd, Stevie, Mo-town, etc. Grew up on the Beatles/Stones/Who/Alice/pop AM and early FM. I appreciate anything new that is written, arranged and produced well while not being rehashed schlock !
I am not a seasoned veteran, but I have played out with various projects when time has permitted. Last group was a 5 year run as lead vocalist and guitar player for the Reg Hot Horn Dawgs, (a Blues Brothers style 12 piece horn band) which I named and was a founding member.
Presently playing with the house and watching too much TV and internet. I'd be interested in practicing once a week and playing 1-2 times a month. I have a PA which works Ok for small gigs and a simple light kit.

Biography
Todd's current project is called Twenty Aught Eight, which consists of posting a new song to his web site and his myspace page every week for a year between 1/14/08 and 1/12/09. During the project, the songs can be downloaded for free from Todd's site and they will also be available for purchase on CDs. Each collection will document a quarter of a year and will have 13 songs.
Prior to Twenty Aught Eight, he released 5 CDs independently, starting with Even My Shoes got the Blues in 1999. Reflections followed in 2001 and Here I Stand debuted in 2004. In 2007, Todd released two albums simultaneously.
My Blues consists of 20 selections from his first three albums that were rerecorded in order to better serve as an introduction to his earlier work. These songs were chosen based on consistent audience reaction and also include some of Todds favorites.
Live, Love, Learn, Sing! is made up of 14 brand new songs that are all deeply personal with diverse subject matter than includes life, death, love, suicide, persistence, self awareness, and fate. The lyrics find a way to provoke thought in the listener, often managing to do so with a dose of humor. The music successfully blends elements of blues, folk, rock, bluegrass, and country, forming what might best be called Americana.
2007 also saw Todds return to what he does best - playing live music, where it continues to be his goal to move people on an emotional level, drawing on his deep, resonant voice, tasteful guitar work, and a storytellers knack for interacting with and entertaining his audience.
Show me something, touch my soul. Bring a tear to my eye. Make it real; I wanna feel like Im really alive.
- Feel Alive, Todd Lorenz

(heh heh) can collaborate like crazy and probably know at least half of your material already... and if not I will work on it cheerfully and accept your polite criticism without pouting... in other words I am a professional and if you need a hand occasionally or want to start something along the lines of anything that I mentioned, drop me a line. Yes, I have my own equipment. I am well over thirty but will not hold it against you if you are not. Particularly interested in playing with or singing with other women, although not just for amusement. I need to be working.

Biography
Check out my rough music on myspace or Facebook or Youtube: Barry Wayne Callen. I have just started a The Clownhorse Band currently with three female members: vocalist, keyboards, drums. I play guitar and sing and write the songs. We are currently looking for two female vocalists: one who also plays bass or cello, and one who plays lead guitar (preferably in the Spanish style). Get in on the ground floor.
Musicality, playfullness, and character are more important to us at this stage than training and experience, although we welcome those as well. You must be addiction/cigarette free. This band is open to all races, ages, abilities, gender preferences, and nationalities. We use many musical genres: folk, rock, country, theater, and dance music.
Several months after a stroke, I started waking up with entire songs in my head, now seven years later, I have recovered my health, and I have over 3 hours of original music. I believe that feeling is healing and the best music makes you feel something. I am out to start a band and record a CD before the end of the year.
Come and play with us for fun and see how it feels. Take a chance! Contact Barry Wayne Callen on Facebbook or at 508.347.8396 or at barry.callen@gmail.com.

Biography
I've been playing bass for awhile. I play Warwick, Fender, and Epiphone, powered by an Ampeg SVT-Pro, through a SWR stack. I also have a 'lead caliber voice,' as I have fronted a reasonably successful band for a number of years in NE Wisconsin. I've put out two cd's of original music, so I have some studio experience. I have played Summerfest ('08 M+I Bank Stage, '09 Harley Davidson Stage), High Noon, and the Majestic. My last band also opened for a handful of national acts that have come through the Madison area. I've lived down here for about 3 years. Fave bands? To many to list, but my play list changes from day to day..LOL!! Some include Zeppelin, Sabbath, Humble Pie, Bad Co., 311, Incubus (with Dirk Lance), Karnivool, Black Stone Cherry, Candlebox, Shinedown, Nickleback (but really, anything after 'The Long Road' is trash, in my opinion), Breaking Benjamin, etc. I'm not into metal, punk, or emo. I do enjoy country, as well.

HI, my name is Ilse, and I am a 22 year old university student living in Madison.
I have played the trombone since I was 9 years old, with years of orchestra and jazz bands. I started playing the piano when I was very young but gave it up eventually for the guitar. I am still a beginner on the guitar, but I love it, and enjoy playing the accoustic. I also love singing, whether it be lead or back up harmonizing vocals.
I was part of the madison based ska band SKAPUT! for about a year, in which I played the trombone and sang back-up. or small band, whether with people who want to start something up, or with an already established band who are looking for a few odds and ends.
I would really enjoy to be part of an indie-folk band...either on trombone/guitar/vocals.

Biography
I have been playing keyboards, drums, singing and writing songs since I was a kid in the 70's. I have hugely eclectic tastes, from classical to hard rock to jazz to all manner of world music, but I'd say my biggest touchstones are the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bach and Miles Davis. My favorite artists recently are Radiohead, The Flaming Lips and Wilco. I have written music for theatre, dance, movies, TV, and jingles. I'm excited by musical innovation and love to create new sounds and new styles of music. I drummed in The Merkins, which started as bluegrass (with horns) and soon incorporated funk and Balkan folk in odd meters. Later I drummed in Lemon Skweezer, a Led Zeppelin cover band. My main musical project now is playing keyboards and singing in the disco/funk band V05.

Biography
2006 Been playing about 35 years in bands ranging from rock and metal to folk and acoustic music. Currently working on a bunch of solo material in both acoustic and electric format to be released??? No angry or hateful material. Think Sister Hazel, meets Matchbox 20 and Eric Johnson with acoutic material reminisent of Michael Hedges and Billy McLaughlan.
I seriously injured my fret hand and had surgery in April 2006. After a couple surgerys I started to play again Feb 2007. Played my first show since the accident Sept 15, 2007.
Spring/Summer 2009 - More hand problems have flared up and I once again can't play guitar.
Fall 2009 Back to playing and doing benefit gigs to get back into it!
Currently (Spring 2010) recovering from my latest injury to my hands, very nasty frostbite, which occured during winter. Chomping the bit to get back to playing music and working on the solo CD. For now I'm hoping to be able to start hand rehab in April 2010.

Well, for starters... thats a pretty sorry description. Sure, Josh was born and raised in Mississippi, but hes always been a bit of a nomad. In fact, theres not even much of an accent there. However, one thing Josh did bring with him from the South is his love for music. He loves to throw a bit of blues or funk into most anything he plays, almost to a fault!
Joshs music background began back in elementary school, where he fell in love with song. Soon, he began learning his way around the piano, followed closely by the trumpet (request Ring of Fire at the next PianoFondue show!), and finally the choir in his senior year. He majored in music at Millsaps College in Jackson, focusing primarily on conducting and vocal performance, and he has been working in music ever since.

Biography
Hola. I am a bass player, guitarist, (lame) keyboardist, singer and generalist.
I have been actively playing music in the Madison WI area over the past ten years. I've been studying and practicing music for over the past fifteen years.
Musical tastes are very scattered. In my working cliche, I enjoy most everything from Classical to World Music. (Even have learnt a few jazz tunes recently.) But I play primarily Rock, Country and blues....also bring other influences in. Idea: Play live, write a lot, and eternally be creative.
I have booked and played over 50 shows in the Madison area with cover and original bands. I have also played some country music gigs, some 50's rock gigs, blues jams...just enjoy learning and playing live. Get in touch.

Biography
Since this is my profile page, I'm very diverse when it comes to music. I like just about anything that pleases the crowd. Yes, I like crowds and I like working the room and the crowd. I love the interaction that takes place and I believe this should be a priority for any band --- please the crowd! I also think it's possible and necessary that the band be satisfied (musically). Oh, I almost forgot, I really enjoy the true friendships that are made as a result of the whole process.
I live in the Madison, Wisconsin area and I've worked with a couple of bands in the area. Prior to moving to Madison, I was the lead singer and acoustic guitar player (front man) for a successful, yet local, band in Central Wisconsin. For over 11 years, I acted as the band's booking agent, I owned the main sound equipment, and I truly enjoyed performing country / rock, and classic rock in many different venues. I'm excited to get something fresh started (although it would be nice to join an established band).
I enjoy singing lead, as well as providing background vocals, I play acoustic and electric rhythm guitar, I play a little rhythm on mandolin, and I enjoy writing songs.
Thanks again!

Biography
I would love to connect with others who love world music, in particular the musics of Latin America, and who want to create new music by mixing styles, instrumentations...don't mind jamming but not really looking to play the same thing over and over for hours...let's create something and then make it shine. I write with a mix of folk, bossanova, trova cubana, jazz, flamenco. I write on the guitar but my main love is singing. Also play the flute and other woodwinds. I have a pretty strong understanding of music theory and hope to collaborate with others who either have an understanding of basic theory or just pick things up really quickly. I'm certainly not a master musical theorist but it is nice to be able to use the language of music to move things along. Also, it would be great to find folks who are into singing strong two part harmony, three part, four part...even a cappella. I would be into recording projects, and occasional gigging, but with two youngs kids, I'm not looking for regular outings or touring or anything...

In anticipation of the new HIM album out Feb 2010, I'm interested in starting a HIM cover band. They'll never come to Madison, so let's be HIM (pun intended) and satisfy fans in the Midwest.
I'm 34, nonsmoker, beer enthusiast, fugly and skinny, and a drummer by trade, but moving on to new sonic territories: lead singing. So, being ugly will be an invaluable asset for us. I have a busy work life so, music is a once or twice a week stress relief for me.
All ages and looks welcome since music is the entire point, not appearance. Looking for a rock/metal guitarist, keyboardist and a bassist who enjoy or will enjoy covering their tunes and doing backing vocals. So, let's start simple with Wicked Game and work on improving our groove and sound.

Biography
My name is Derek Ramnarace and I recently moved to Madison from LaCrosse. I have toured constantly as the lead singer/ guitarist for the band Hooch since 1999. I have been booked to every major festival in the midwest including Summerfest, 10,000 Lakes Festival, Feel Good Festival, Campout Roots, Grateful Garcia, Newpalooza, Blottopia and many others. I have performed with tons of national acts, traveled to many points around the country, performed at tons of national clubs and recorded a few albums. I've had the opportunity to learn and work with Grammy winning producers and engineers over the course of my travels and I'm looking to start a new project here in the Madison area.
I am leaning towards an acoustic folk/bluegrass sound but with obvious influences in rock, reggae and blues to be fused into a more modern folk sound. Think Ray LaMontagne, Josh Ritter, Sufjan Stevens, Amos Lee and Bright Eyes.
I have tons of original music already written that I have not performed or recorded with any other bands. I am open to collaborating with other songwriters. I have many venues and opportunities lined up for gigs all over the mid west. I am willing to stay fairly local but would love to travel around if it works with everyone's schedule. Priority number one is finding like minded people with the right energy and ambition to make music with!!!

Biography
Moved to Madison from the Philadelphia region due to work relocation in November. Musically, I tend to lean toward what might be categorized as lo-fi/shoegaze, and experiment with blending ambient and percussive samples or loops with traditional rock instruments. I'm currently putting together an album, recording and mixing it in my apartment. I like Pavement. Favorite labels might be Merge, Matador, Slumberland. Listening to lately..High Places, Grizzly Bear, Warpaint, Black Tambourine.
11/15 - Currently looking to collaborate with a bassist and a female vocalist for a few tracks on my album. Let me know if you're interested!

Biography
I have been ministering since 1994 and have played guitar since '69. My music style is Contemporary Christian/Rock, and I enjoy playing many of the songs you hear on Christian radio today.
I recorded a debut cd in July '09 (Paradise Bound), and have had three of the songs released this summer on two christian compilation cd's, (Unified By Grace includes the song Glory, and the Saints & Sinners cd includes In Paradise and You Set Me Free). They are available through iTunes and will be available at 200 digital download retailers this summer.
Some of the artists I enjoy playing are Chris Tomlin, Matt Reddman, David Crowder, Third Day, Newsboys, Lincoln Brewster, Casting Crowns and some originals I have written.
If you have a heart to serve and a desire to play, I encourage you to get in touch with me. I am praying for a keyboard player and vocalist to compliment our band.
Blessings,

I'm a beginning vocalist starting late, in my 30's. I've been singing for a long time, just nothing professional, but have taken voice lessons. My tastes vary quite a bit: Alice in Chains, Metallica, Green Day, Barenaked Ladies, Jason Mraz. I can also sing almost the entire lead for Joseph and the Amazing Technocolor Dreamcoat. Thanks to my kids for that.

Biography
Female veteran lead vocalist, lyricist and cofounder of the band Sweet Jelly (2000 - 2009) - during which time, we played out regularly, had a strong stage presence and created 70+ pop rock originals together.
After peacefully and mutually retiring the band in '09, I decided it was time to stretch my wings and make some music of my own, some of which can be found on my website. I like to write lyrics and I like to find melodies to put to those lyrics. I also find great joy in performing.
Currently I am on a search to find like-minded musical individuals to join me on this journey, so please contact me if this is you.
Artists I enjoy, continue to inspire, and often try to emulate in song and spirit are Suzanne Vega, Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Richard Hawley, Steven Page, Kirsty MacColl, Feist, Nick Lowe, Garbage, Annie Lennox, Shawn Colvin, Edith Piaf, Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Weakerthans, Michelle Shocked and Elvis Costello just to name a few.
I enjoy a number of musical styles (as specified above) with the main focus on the (quiet) indie-folk-rock side of things. I also have a foundation in piano and dabble in guitar.
In addition to making music, I also like to make art, animation and some trouble along the way.

Biography
I've played rock, countryrock, blues, to bluegrass. Mostly guitar, but have toyed with banjo, fiddle, piano, mandolin, harmonica, and bass. I recently did my first bass gig with a classic rock band for 2 1/2 years. I have begun soloing on accoustic, and learned some 40s 50s pop, and have done 18 nursing homes to tighten my act; am now working on classic rock list for bar gigs. I'm also writing originals to intersperse with my list. I did my first open mike at a folk festival. Wow not bad for a 60 year old out of retirement, and gonna play another 60 years at least.

Biography
All of my amplifiers go to 11.
I am a guitarist with 15 years of experience, acoustic and electric. I like to think I'm pretty versatile, but tend to gravitate towards the classic rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Cream etc.) and also play the occasional GnR, Alice in Chains, or Black Sabbath tune. That being said, I like many styles and think variety is key. I have some good gigging experience and high-quality gear.
I have a nice practice space in my home with a PA, mixer etc.
I have a few samples on youtube here:

Biography
== STYLE ==
The style of music I make is sort of like a combination of industrial rock and hip-hop. I make all the music solo using software on my computer-- no live instruments, just synthesizers, drum machines, etc.
In addition to the industrial hip-hop music, I record my vocals, which learned folks inform me are delivered in a style called Sprechstimme, which basically just means half sung/half spoken. From time to time, I even rap. The lyrics tend to have strong undertones of impatience and frustration.
For samples of my solo work, navigate to the Recordings section of reconsiderate.com
== EXPERIENCE ==
I've been making this style of music by trial and error for about 10 years or so now. The only formal musical education I have is about 5 years of grade school band, in which I studied percussion. So my music does tend to be strongly rooted in rhythms / beats.
For a while, I was into performance poetry. Not slam poetry, but performance poetry. Basically they were these short lofty monologues that I'd act out at local open mics. That lasted about 2 or 3 years, and has also had a very strong influence over my work, which I do consider primarily a vehicle for delivering my words.
== WHO I ADMIRE ==
I like to listen to a variety of artists from a somewhat varied pool of musical styles, though I do tend to gravitate toward heavy music. The majority of the music I listen to regularly is loop-based electronica, hip hop, hard rock, alternative rock and things like this. Other genres I do enjoy, like jazz or even some full orchestra, but am just at a paucity of examples.
I listen to a lot of online artists, amateurs or indies who give their stuff away for free in mp3 format on various websites. This is my primary source of new music, and has been for at least the past 3 or 4 years.
The type of artist who I enjoy listening to has a unique sound and tends to embody principles of art (such as abstraction, intellectual stimulation, technique experimentation, randomness, nonsense) rather than principles of music (such as emotions, fluidity or harmony).
Examples of famous artists I've enjoyed a lot are: Tool, KMFDM, Classic Metallica, They Might Be Giants, KRSONE, Beck, Bjork and of course a ton more. Chances are pretty good that you and I share a few favorite artists.
== GOALS ==
I write because I have to. It's an outlet for things I never get to express or explore with other people. My recordings are my safe haven. So, in the context of me myself and I, my only goal is to continue.
With other people, I'm interested to experiment and collaborate. It's hard to find a good music companion, but, with the right person or persons, some really cool things can emerge. And I'm very keen to do that if the chemistry is right. If you're interested, I'd encourage you to get in touch with me. I believe you can do so via this website. If not, you can just go to mine (reconsiderate.com), and click on the Contact link in the Personal section.

Biography
Singer-Songwriter, vocalist, rhythm guitarist (or bass).
Always looking to jam with similarly well-aged rockers who play with a slight twang. I am a veteran of Madison's 70's/80's rock scene. And I even know all seven chords (and can often put them together in melodius ways). Countrified Ramones, rocked-out country standards, and other slightly used songs all accepted. Might even be talked into playing something from this century (if it rocks and you can understand the words). Songwriting experience. Interested in some light recording.
Sorry, can't commit to extended road gigs. My bus days are definitely in the rear view mirror. But monthly gigs would be more than welcome!

Biography
I've been playing music all my life. These days bass is my primary instrument. My current instruments are Brian Moore 5-string fretted, Fender Jazz 4-string fretless and Ergo 5-string electric upright. I played clarinet and bass clarinet through all of my schooling.
I'm currently playing with my jazz trio, Terrazzo in the Milwaukee area. We're about to begin recording original music, primarily Latin-infused jazz.
I can play within any style and pick up new material quickly. I've worked with many original acts, helping to compose new material and work up bass lines and vocal parts.
Much of my time is also taken up in my home project studio writing/recording for myself and projects of friends and colleagues including scoring and sound editing for video and film.

Biography
I've been singing for most of my life. I've been in lots of different kinds of choirs. I was lead singer in a local rock/punk band called A Gnarly Swell for a few years. My voice is in the Tenor1 Tenor2 range which comes in handy for making really tight backing vocals. And for the most part i'm pretty confident that i can stay in pitch. I've also been playing piano for over ten years. I don't sight read very well but i understand most chord progressions and some music theory. I think my keyboard style shines in using synthesizers though.
Currently working on a small 2-person project called Future Robotz

Biography
MY STORY: In 1988 (age 14) I visited a little music store in Mt. Prospect Illinois called The Sound Post. My curiosity brought me in to the keyboard room and with my informal training on Piano I plunked a few chords out on every synth. They all had the most wonderful sounds. I had already been a fan of Chicago House producers such as Adonis and Steve Silk Hurley and popular Synth Pop groups such as Depeche Mode and Heaven 17 so the idea of composing music with synthesizers was more than welcome in my mind. My Grandmother loaned me the money to purchase my very first Synth and Drum Machine and so I worked at the local White Hen with permit to pay it off.
I ended up getting a job at that very same music store 3 years later and went to school for 2 hours each day and worked the rest of the school day by means of the High School's work program. The work program allowed me to gain the credits required to complete my senior year and graduate.
I then continued to take out loans and upgrade my equipment and before you knew it I was using a Tascam 8 Track and an Apple PC with sequencing software, Opcode's Vision in specific. My friends were all extremely impressed with my skills and knowledge as I continued to progress.
At age 20 I picked up and moved from Jefferson Park in Chicago to Huntington Beach California and struggled to make it there and returned shortly after my 21st birthday.
I worked as a temp and in corporate offices for a couple of years before getting a job as a mobile Dj which lead me to quit my other jobs and just work on the weekends Dj-ing weddings.
Times were getting tough so a friend, and artist whom I was producing at the time Thomas Carlyle Aires (Arcanta), hooked me up with a job in the shipping department at Projekt Records. I worked there for seven dollars per hour until I spotted an ad in the Chicago Reader for a sales position at a little music store called zZounds Music Discovery Center. Amazingly I got the job. This was a major turning point in my life and the beginning of my music career.
zZounds (now an internet giant) was an interesting little mom and pop store. It was started by an ex-attorney for Jenner and Block named Ray Worthy Campbell. Ray's vision was to open a music store for his kids so they could be exposed to music and have a fun place to practice and explore music as well. I sold midi equipment, software, and taught the occasional student who signed up for my Intro To Electronic Music Composition lessons.
Ray sent me to Nashville in 1998 for the Summer NAMM convention and that is where the story really unfolds. I stopped by a demonstration at the Sonic Foundry booth and listened to their sales rep demonstrate the latest version of Sonic Foundry's ACID Pro. We had already sold ACID version 1.0 at zZounds and I of course was amazed at what this program could do simply because there was absolutely nothing else like it and it certainly was a total dream come true. After the demonstration they announced that they were hiring and if interested they were to speak with a representative back stage. I was the first and only person to respond which almost made it seem as though it was meant to be.
I could hardly wait to return home because the meeting went well and my hopes were high. I followed through with every step immediately upon my arrival in Chicago and to no avail received a phone call from Mike Scheibinger at zZounds of all places, how nerve racking. Mike was interested and eager to meet and interview me at the Madison Wisconsin home base.
My experience in Madison was almost dream like. Mike let me stay at his house the night before the interview, not even knowing who I was. He had a wife, daughter, and a dog all living in a humble home in Cottage Grove Wisconsin. Everyone was so friendly and generous. I awoke to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the wet nose of a dog sniffing my face. Mike drove us to Sonic Foundry and we hung out all day interviewing.
My bus ride back to Chicago was not easy to tolerate as I was completely excited about the possibility of working for such a cool company. One hour into my ride home and my mobile rings. I answer it and it's Sonic Foundry's Human Resources telling me I got the job.
I worked at Sonic Foundry for about two years editing and ACIDizing loops, making demo songs, preparing remix contests for ACIDplanet.com, and scoring advertisements. Some of my most adored accomplishments were helping to develop ACIDplanet.com, scoring and producing the Acid MTV commercial, writing the script and music for the Chicago B96 Acid radio commercial, editing the content and preparing samples for the Beck and Beastie Boys remix contests for ACIDplanet.com, and and demoing products at Peter Gabriel's WOMAD tour in Seattle. Working at Sonic Foundry was such a great experience and I learned so much but it was too good to be true. The company went public and became a huge success until the market crash winter of 2000. This is when 200 hundred employees including myself lost our jobs on Christmas weekend do to company downsizing.
Luckily Mike kept me busy with freelance work. I produced all of the loops for ACID Dj 3.0 which was developed specifically to sell at Best Buy and Computer Discount Warehouse nation wide.
Sonic Foundry sold it's software and media to Sony.
I then continued to produce 6 more loop CDs for Sony Media Software but this didn't pay the bills so I decided to start my own business producing royalty free loops for ACID and Soundtrack.
The company is called Peace Love Productions. The name was inspired by the conflicts in Iraq. I've been running PLP for nine years from today and it has been a very fruitful experience. I feel blessed every day when I think about how it has helped me to grow as a person both creatively , mentally, and spiritually.
The process was challenging. I taught myself web design and programming by means of the internet. I also had to learn how to market products with very little to fund them. MORE TO COME

Biography
Hello, I am 32 years old. I am a pretty laid back person, so if you
are looking for an intense or hyper person, I am not your man. I
have been playing guitar since '94. I have a Walden acoustic,
Kramer electric, and a Line 6 Spider 2 amp. I honestly don't know
much about instrument and audio equipment brands. I just know
what I think sounds and feels right. I am open to many different
types of music. With that being said, I don't want to do country
unless it is bluegrass. I don't want to be in a band that primarily
uses the cookie monster growls or screaming in their lyrics. I am
totally ok with a band that plays originals or cover songs. I would
lean more towards originals though. I have a few original pieces of my own that need lyrics. I can play strong on rythm
and fair on lead. I practice pents a lot but I've never really took
time to learn lead in any particular songs. I am also a decent
singer. I don't have a mic, but I can get one soon if need be. I don't have a car and I live downtown. I get around mainly by bus. I don't have much stage experience. My stage experience would
include a few jams here and there, open mics and occasionally
playing out on State Street for spare change. Well, if you are still reading this, then perhaps you may be interested and I am surprised you made it this far.
Peace.

Biography
I'm a 22 year old music education student at Edgewood College in Madison studying music education. I have been playing guitar for about 7 years and play any style put in front of me.
My biggest musical influences are 1960s pop groups such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Zombies, The Turtles, The Kinks, etc. Outside of that era I also am interested in just about any style of music with the exception of pop-country music and musicals/opera music. Some examples of my interests are jazz, post-rock, folk, grunge, garage rock, progressive rock, classic Motown, avant-garde, and outsider music.
I currently play guitar in Edgewood's Jazz Ensemble and classical Guitar Ensemble. I'd like to play out more and play new places and styles.
I own and can play more instruments than I have listed above, but I feel the ones I checked were the ones I'm most comfortable playing.
I have recording experience and am working on recording some of my own material at the moment.
I am also available to giving guitar lessons. I have given guitar lessons for 3 years. Email if interested.
Right now I am looking for other interested and determined musicians to play with. I would like to play with a serious group interested in writing original material. Musical styling of group not too critical at this point. I have also spent time working with a variety of musicians in working on song arranging and instrumentation, so if this sounds of interest to you, let me know.

Biography
I have been playing Bass guitar seriously for about 6 years...Electric guitar for 4...I am interested in finding like-minded or at least open-minded eclectic individuals who want to play avant garde/art/indie/metal/jazz/fusion/ambient/noise stuff. Or anything in either of those styles. I listen to a lot of technical metal and lots of avant garde, classical, jazz, ambient, experimental music in general. I naturally gravitate towards the unusual/unpredictable music.....I would not mind trying almost any style under the sun....as long as I can have creative input...AND as long as it is not (too) cliche.....
Lately I have been on a huge ambient kick!
I have recently added Keyboards/piano to my repertoire...improvising is my specialty with all of my instruments!
I also sing melodically and can growl pretty decently.
age/sex does not matter. As long as you have a good ear and good sense of (complex) rhythm, I would like to jam with you. Get in touch. At this point, I only want to jam, with the prospect of something semi-serious. Not willing to tour.
NO COVER BANDS PLEASE.
seeking only the obscure/adventurous.......examples: Thinking Plague, Twisted into Form, Spiral Architect, maudlin of the well, John Zorn, Death Ambient, Bill Frisell, Swans, (all)Ulver, Martyr (Canadian Tech-death metal), Univers Zero, Psychotic Waltz, Solefald, Thought Industry, Scholomance, Virus, Ved Buens Ende, Deathspell Omega, Katatonia, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Toxik, Lye By Mistake, Canvas Solaris, (early-mid) Meshuggah, King Crimson, Skinny Puppy, Ron Jarzombek/Watchtower/Spastic Ink, Theory In Practice, Slint, U Totem/5UUs, Allan Holdsworth, Arcturus, David Sylvian......and the list goes on and on.....

Biography
Frontman/Songwriter/Studio Nerd for Null Device, a band that makes its living mixing old-school synthpop, new-school electronic dance music, and various kinds of world music.
I personally do studio and synthesis work, play some electric violin, rudimentary dumbek, dhol and dholak, and I'm terrible at duduk but it's never stopped me from trying.
I am, however, decent at doing low-cost mastering. I'm no Bob Katz, but I've put together mastered albums for genres as diverse as punk, pop, electronic dance, acoustic folk, powernoise, and alterna-rock. It's a side gig, but if you want your demo or whatever mastered cheap (and don't want that limited-beyond-all-dynamic-range problem), I'm your guy.

Biography
I currently co-front and play bass in New People (http://www.newpeopleband.com). My previous band in town was Madison Lint, where I was the sole singer/songwriter and played classical guitar. I'm always looking for strong new musicians for live and studio work and enjoy meeting folks who share my musical tastes; feel free to drop me a line. Some history: I played in a multi-songwriter switch-instruments-a-lot every-song-sounds-different band in college, and I think that's an experience that all musicians should be required to undergo. ...Opens you up a bit, makes you figure out what you're really about. For six years after that, I lived in Austin where I tried for a more refined alternative sound, wrote somewhat simpler songs, and soaked up the local flavor, learning to appreciate blues and groove in a way my anglo-psychedelic college experience did not. Since 2000, I've lived in Madison working with some of the best musicians I've witnessed and trying to get my music out there. Regarding influences, I'd say everything, but anyone who says that is lying. I'm very open to lots of music but end up obsessing on a small number of bands and their offshoots at any give time. Over the years, these have included Beatles, Peter Gabriel, XTC, Split Enz, Weezer, the Who, Big Star, Wilco, Pavement, the Cars, Husker Du, Robyn Hitchock, Camper van Beethoven, Yes, King Crimson, Violent Femmes, the Pogues, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, the Byrds, the Police, Lou Reed, TMBG, Ween, Blur, and others that I'm too embarrassed to name. In recent years I've tried to get caught up on the rash of new rock bands out there and really enjoy the Strokes, the Shins, Death Cab for Cutie, the Hives, Modest Mouse, etc. For more, see marklint.com.

Biography
I am a 27 year old male Madison area vocalist/guitarist. I've been singing with a band for two years, and playing guitar for about 7 years.
I am mostly interested in the new indie post-post-modern rock sound, and I tend to enjoy the more simple, yet inventive forms of the genre. The most important thing is that the music is sonically intriguing. Oh yeah, and this is important: The music has to be FUN!
I listen to lots of indie rock bands: [name drop on] The Strokes, Steven Malkmus, Cold War Kids, Delta Spirit, The Pixies, Ra Ra Riot, Sparta, Queens of the Stone Age, Pete and the Pirates, The Arcade Fire, David Bowie, and lots and lots of other bands. [/name drop off]
If this sounds like the kind of project that you've been waiting for, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Biography
My main thing is freelance music journalism. And if you want a real run down on me, I'm probably the only person in southern Wisconsin with an exquisite taste for goth/deathrock. And none of that EBM/Industrial shit either. I can't stand it. My favorite bands are Christian Death,Naked and the dead, Death Cult,Shadow Project and Premature Ejaculation.
I'm more of a rhythm guitarist than lead, I'm not that great but thats fine because I don't have to be a musician to get somewhere. Most people try to hard and give themselves to one thing, why not settle in many areas. I'm open to anything really.

I'm Phil. I'm 23 years old and have been playing guitar for about 7 or 8 years now. In the last couple of weeks, I've started trying to make some attempts at writing/recording some demos, which can be found on the web site I have posted. Looking to start something with musically like-minded people. If all goes as planned, I'll be moving to Milwaukee in the fall, but would be willing to commute somewhat often if anything got serious. Influences include Modest Mouse, Daniel Johnston, Twothirtyeight, Pixies, Smog, and really too many to name.

Biography
I have been involved with music all of my life. I have dabbled in playing a few instruments such as the piano, guitar, and drums but my main passion is singing. I have taken private vocal lessons and I am a soprano. I have been involved in choirs and musicals. I would say that my voice is very similar to Amy Lee's from Evanescence and that is the sound I would prefer to be involved with. However, I would be interested in regular pop/ rock or alternative feel as well. I could also see myself involved in country music as well. I have a ton of music influences that range from Evanescence, Heart, Garbage, Flyleaf, Within Temptation, and Linkin Park to Carrie Underwood, Madonna, and Nickelback.

Biography
I moved to Madison 15 months ago for a new job at a BioTech company (I have a PhD in Chemistry). I am 55 years old with lots of experience in club bands. I gigged for 20 years, 4-7 nites a week from 1970-1990.
I'd like a casual gig a few nites a month and to be honest, I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN AN ESTABLISHED, GIGGING BAND with experienced folks so I don't have to work too hard! Just want to have some fun making some good music.
I have multiple axes including a Hammond B3 (in my studio in Pleaseant Praire - not mobile!). My current gigging rig includes a Roland Fantom X8 and an Alesis Ion. I am looking at buying a B3 clone soon (probably a Hammond XK3).
I also some sing lead and backup vocals.
I also have a lot of experience playing synth (key) bass with bands with no bassist or if the bassist doubles on a different instrument.
Types of music include Pop, Rock, Country, Blues, R&B and Funk. I have been getting into the Blues more recently. I have played thousands of songs from 50's through 80's.

Biography
It's true that Madison clubs keep their lineups fairly diverse, but it's still unusual to see one hosting sounds like the brooding, extreme psychedelia of Madison's Kinit Her. On its latest release, As Magi, Kinit Her expands on the psych-folk of bands like Espers by burying it alive in a coffin stuffed with found sound, shimmering drones, and sparse bits of doom and black metal. The mock-operatic baritone of guitarist Vince Wachowiak holds the Muppet-witch croons of multi-instrumentalist Troy Schafer and production wizard/vocalist Nate Ritter at bay. While the vocals may try some listeners' patience, hearing Ritter manipulate Schafer's eerie orchestrations makes for immersive, almost occult-feeling live sets.

Biography
I've had some experience with a few local bands (Beanshack being latest, House Band at a Dive Bar), I'm a serious musician that aspires to more than playing locally and getting drunk on weekends (although it is fun), I'm willing to work with anyone that doesn't have drug or ego problems (my last band had both)..
I was a classically trained vocalist in HS, I was both All Star and All State, and got more into Rockabilly, Outlaw Country, Southern Rock, and Blues as I got older. I still have a large range, however smoking keeps me from something like Freddy Mercury. I can still pull Billy Idol, Lynrd Skynrd, Blackfoot, Poision, Revrend Horton Heat, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Hank Jr.,etc... without a catch.
I've found that I have the ability to mimic voices if given the time to train my own to it. Also I have some originals that sound like nobody else, if I had to compare, I'd say Chris Issac, Willie Nelson, B.B., David Allen Coe.. I also play a little guitar, but I started primarily to be able to teach rythms I hear in my head while singing.
Like I said earlier, I am a serious artist, I'm chock full of tallent, I'm not a walking ego, and I wanna have fun with it. I also have a few connections locally and nationally that might help jumpstart the process.
If you want to form a serious band, make some money, are willing to work for it, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and have some fun, I might just be your man. you can always myspace me, my name is Josh Luce from Wautoma, Wisconsin..

Biography
I love pop music, specifically 60's & 80's British Invasions and Power Pop. (Beatles, Who, Small Faces, Stones, Raspberries, Badfinger, Sweet, Blondie, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Rockpile, XTC, Squeeze, Posies, Spongetones, etc)
I believe that one should never sacrifice melody for speed.
I believe that playing music with a positive vibe is much harder to pull off than one of anger and rage. I prefer to be positive.
I believe there is a place in this world for simple songs that are well executed but nothing is worse than simple songs being butchered.
I was the drummer for the band Sunday Papers (80's rock and more) a few years back, and just finished my tour of duty with Nerve Tonic. If you've seen either band, yes, I'm the guy who stands and plays drums and sings.
I am in the process of starting a group that mines the power pop explosion of the 70's & 80's. I've got a couple of talented bass and guitar players already lined up. A great keyboard player would put this band over the top.

Biography
I am 29, live in Mount Horeb, and am working on a project. I need to collaborate with drummers, bassists, guitarists, and others (trumpet & trombone players, cellists, ethnic instruments would be great). My influences to date are: Spiritualized, Fleet Foxes, Beirut, Radiohead (their later stuff), Deathcab, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I have a lot of song ideas, but need some help. I have lots of experience in music, can read music, sing, play guitar, piano, bass and drums. Most of my songs I record alone and they end up sounding great, but I would have to limit so much if I were to play somewhere. My goal is simple: to play somewhere! I think my music is worth sharing, and hopefully others might think so too and help me out with their ideas! Thanks.

Biography
I play an aggressive acoustic guitar & piano (mad as hell sometimes like a PO'd Dave Matthews or Ani Difranco...lovable sometimes like a happy DM or AD). Everyone compares my vocals to Rob Thomas (I like the guy but don't sing any of his songs because of the comparison.
I've played Summerfest the last 4 years and plan to do it again next year on a larger stage. I'm playing full time right now as a solo artist, but I want to get a band ready for spring, summer and fall festivals.
You can check me out at www.markharrodmusic.com and at www.sonicbids.com/markharrodmusic. There's easier listening stuff out there right now, since I'm trying to book lounges in the area that pay better. The festival set will be MUCH higher energy & ALL original music.
Let me know if you're interested in playing. Seeking BASS, LEAD ACOUSTIC GUITAR, KEYS (PIANO & ORGAN), LEAD ELECTRIC GUITAR, DRUMS & PERCUSSION. An ability to sing backups is preferred.

Biography
I've been playing piano/keyboards for 12 years, acoustic and electric guitar for 3, and alto sax for 6. I'm really into a Dave Matthews/James Taylor/Jack Johnson/Raul Midon kind of sound, but rock, jazz, blues, pretty much anything except metal works. I ultimately would love for music to be my job, and I'm willing to work hard towards that goal. I'm currently a sophomore at UW, and I'm looking to branch out either by myself or with a band. I'm also writing songs in my free time. If your interested or just want someone to jam with, shoot me an email. Thanks.

Biography
Susan Hofer has been exciting audiences for the past 10 years. Beginning as a classical clarinetist, she developed a deep appreciation for traditional jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and contemporary singers like Diane Reeves and Kurt Elling. Combine this with her keen interest in outside-the-box creative improvised music, throw in her study of ethnomusicology, put it all in the blender to commingle and you have a style all her own. Audiences have enjoyed her performances in Chicago and outlying areas, and the great critical acclaim made listeners take notice. Her singing has appeared prominently in various newspapers, critics picks, and other feature articles. Her career has taken her to many of Chicagos best live music venues, including the Hot House and the Drake Hotel, with regular appearances at Pops for Champagne and an invitation to perform at their Women in Jazz Festival. Susan has opened for the Mighty Blue Kings and has been featured on a statewide broadcast via Wisconsin Public Radio, local Madison, Wisconsin radio via the Mic 92.1, WORT 89.9 and heard on an internationally-distributed podcast. A longtime activist for women in the arts, she organized and performed at the Local Lilith Fair in Champaign, Illinois and sang for longtime Bobby McFerrin collaborator Rhiannon. Locally in Madison, Wisconsin, she has been heard singing and/or playing clarinet (her childhood instrument) with the Big Mouth Cooperative, Swingtime Trio and pianist Dan Barker.

Biography
I just finished a two year run in Andrew Lloyd Webbers Phantom of the Opera, ending my time there in the role of Christine Daae opposite Tony Award winner, Anthony Crivello. While in this amazing production, I had the honor of working with legendary choreographer, Gillian Lynne and 23 time Tony award winning director, Hal Prince. I lived and worked in New York City for almost 10 years before making that move. I toured internationally as Cosette in Les Miserables, sang on several recording projects, and I even did a national commercial. I am following my husband (also a Broadway Veteran) here to Madison, as he started Veterinary school at UW in August. I am excited to be a part of the community here.
I have my degree in Vocal Performance from Oklahoma City University and continued to study voice and vocal pedagogy in New York City with renowned teacher and vocal therapist, Marianne Challis. It was she who encouraged me to step out and start teaching. She oversaw my first few years of teaching, helping me turn the technique I had been learning into something tangible for new students. I have been teaching privately for the last five years, and I have also participated in numerous camps and master classes. I have really grown to love the opportunity to encourage performers to be their best.
I have experience teaching a vast range of musical styles, and I believe it is never too late to start learning to sing with healthy teachnique! For more info you can go to www.amandarclarkmusic.com.

I have been tinkering around with guitar for maybe seven years and have yet to be in a band. I am looking to become more serious about the music I play. I have a little experience playing with a band but not much. I listen to all sorts of punk rock but would very much like to be in a band that plays fast, no bullshit punk rock. No frills. Band that I am currently jamming on are.....bullets to broadway, strike anywhere, dillinger four, lawrence arms, streetlight manifesto, pulley, dead to me, the flatliners, leatherface and many many others.

Biography
I was born and raised in Madison, WI and my earliest childhoods memories are of singing and entertaining my family every chance I got. In 7th grade my sister, my neighbor girl and I started a singing group which I basically forced upon them. I wrote songs and made notebooks for each of us. We planned a big show that was to take place in our barn. We never made it to our big gig and as the years went on, I got so involved in sports and high school stuff that I forgot all about singing until my Senior year of College when I had some life altering experiences. I went out and bought a guitar and started learning how to play and writing my own songs again. I have always loved music, but somewhere along the way I had forgotten how much I loved making my own music. In the summer of 2006 I entered a few competitions and am currently focusing on my writing more and more. I really appreciate all of the people in my life who have encouraged and supported me and my music. God Bless.

I have always been an artist. I've been a poet since I learned to speak. I've been playing the guitar for half my life, and I write a lot of songs.
My influences include heavy doses of jazz, fusion, funk, rock, blues and reggae with a sprinkling of bluegrass, folk, ancient rhythms, hip-hop and classical orchestra and chamber music.
Sort of a Grateful Dead meets Henry Mancini and the Beastie Boys sort of thing.
Or Parliament meets Mozart in Jamaica.
Or Frank Zappa meets... wouldn't it have been cool to meet Frank Zappa.

Hey my name is Derek and I just recently moved to the madison area. I've been a musician for about 8 years and I am currently seeking a band. I'm interested in playing many different kinds of music. My highest concern is for metal but I have been very interested in jam stuff relating to bands like Soundtribe Sector 9 (no vocals). I play electric guitar, bass guitar, and I can do vocals. The only types of music I am trying to avoid are styles that include feminine vocals (especially if its a male vocalist). If you're interested please email me. Thanks.

Ifdakar's pursuit of musical growth and experimental improvisation create an experience not to be forgotten. The fusion/blues guitar, funky bass grooves, free-time jazz keyboard, and hypnotic drumming blend in an inventive emotional style all their own. Performances consist of compositional movements, powerful licks, reflective lyrics, and intense soulful jams. The band as it is today has been leaving their mark on larger audiences and gaining fans along the way since the fall of 2007. All five songwriters bring their visions to the forefront to combine in one unified voice, Ifdakar.

I'm a UW-Madison student with an intense love for folk & bluegrass. I've been playing guitar for over 7 years and have been playing banjo for about 3 months or so. I'm looking to start a group that is in the same vein as the Avett Brothers but with a large focus on traditional or old(er) songs (think Guthrie, Seeger, John Prine, Dylan, Baez, etc). Basically a group willing to re-energize many of these fantastic songs and put an enthusiastic twist on them.

Biography
When I started playing guitar I learned on hard rock like AC/DC, VanHalen, and Metallica, and idolized the guys who could do a little shredding, which gave me pretty quick fingers. Now I have more of an ear and the fingers for blues, blues-rock and classic rock but I still like to go balls-out once in a while. I'm open to a lot of different styles other than that though. I love funk, jazz, folk and a lot of other styles too. I have a few originals, and a lot more ideas, although, I'm not much of a lyricist. My voice isn't too bad, maybe not be lead-vocal worthy, but I'm an adequate backup vocalist.

Biography
I'm the former guitar player of Madison based Sophia's Revenge. I'm really playing anything that's high energy and that your able to move around to a bit. Favorite bands would include Motley Crue, Sixx AM, Neurosonic, Toadies...etc...
With that said I'm also very up for getting into any kind of acoustic group...I have a few of my own songs (roughly recorded) on my myspace: www.myspace.com/acousticluke4730
I would be totally up for just jamming acousticly like tenacious D
If I got into a band that played regular regional shows every weekend I would be completely happy. I would love to make it big, but it's not something I'm expecting to happen.

Biography
I'm a singer and guitarist, working primarily in jazz and blues these days. Performing about twice a month with another guitarist, sometimes a percussionist. Mostly electric, though my roots are in acoustic guitar. Play some Latin and R&B, and lots of originals, in styles ranging from jazz to folk to rock and roll and gospel. Cover material ranges from Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Patsy Kline to Creedence Clearwater, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Beatles, and James Taylor. I'm not interested in ear-blasting guitar amps, or overdriven P A systems. Had enough of that in the past. I am interested in co-writing, co-producing, bringing some fresh energy to the music scene. In duo, trio, or full band, I want every band member to shine, to share their best talents.
I really love danceable music-- latin, reggae, swing, R & B, or good old Beach Boys type rock and roll. Looking for singers to do harmonies, counterpoint, or crazy improvization. Looking for bassist and guitarist to create new forms of music. I want to take in all kinds of new influences from around the globe, and create a really good vibe.

Biography
Been singing and playing since I was a baby. My tastes fall on the Led Zeppelin side of things as opposed to the Rush side of things. I like music raw and rockin', less shiny than prog but more polished than punk. I'm currently involved in several musical projects:
1. HECTOR - original hard rock, I am singer and bassist. HECTOR was founded in the winter of 2007 and already has over twenty killer originals and a cultish following to boot. HECTOR plays all around the Tulsa, OK area in public and private settings.
Find HECTOR at: http://www.myspace.com/hectorbackwoods
2. Blood Jewel - gothic-themed industrial-electronic eclectica, I compose and record all music. Blood Jewel was spawned in the spring of 2006 by Neil Whitehead of Madison, WI, who envisioned a global creative-collective bent around video and musical representation. The project currently involves over 30 individual artists. While largely an internet presence, Blood Jewel performs live on occasion, with key past performances in Madison, WI and Kiev, Ukraine.
Find Blood Jewel at: http://www.myspace.com/bloodjewelband
3. Dwarves of Yore - original pop/rock solo project. Dwarves of Yore was started in 2002 and continues as my personal creative outlet. Occasionally graced by my wife's participation (she's a killer guitarist), Dwarves of Yore compares in sound to many bands both fringe and mainstream, from Ween to Mars Volta to the White Stripes. While Dwarves of Yore has performed live in the past, it is now an internet-based presence with little ambition other than to record and archive my always-growing crop of original music.
Find Dwarves of Yore at: http://www.myspace.com/dwarvesofyore
and: http://www.dwarvesofyore.com
Thanks for checking it out - if you simply enjoy good creativity you should dig at least something I'm involved in. But don't bother if you are the egotistical musical snob type - it will either just disappoint or irritate you.

Biography
A 35 year old man who wants to glorify God through song. I am fun, up-beat, and all about emotion when it comes to music. I have been playing guitar for 15 years, and singing all my life. I can play bass and drums well enough but singing, then guitar are what I do best. I am influenced by everything I hear and my style ranges from folky accoustical ballads, to the jazzy funky junk and continues into the face melting rock. My goals are to write and record music that will grab the attention of the secular world, and still glorify our Lord.

Biography
I have been playing drums & bass since high school, oh... 25 years ago or so. I dropped out of music for about 15 years and about 12 years ago got the bug back. Since then I've been going balls out. I was in a rock cover band in the Black River Falls area for about 3 years called KriticalMass. I also handled the sound system, which I still own.
I like to have fun with the stuff I play and not really interested in doing original material.
I can also hold my own on some simple guitar.
I own 2 complete drum kits, 3 bass guitars, 4 electric guitars & 2 acoustic/electric including a 12 string Washburn. I've got 2 complete 24 channel pa systems, a nice bass rig, a Carvin Legacy tube amp half stack, a Carvin XT112 half stack & various other nice toy's.

Biography
My band, Patchwork Monkey does a lot of songs that are very vocally oriented. We do originals and cover tunes by various artists including Amy Winehouse, Tenacious D, Cole Porter, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, The Who, and Led Zeppelin.
We have played around town at venues such as Mr. Robert's, Escape Coffee Gallery, Madison Music Foundry, and private parties and benefits.
Check out our website at http://www.patchworkmonkey.com or our myspace at http://www.myspace.com/rebeccasites
or check out the youtube video of me at Gomeroke! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9WVOrYUFBI
Patchwork Monkey was honored by having its
rendition of The Beatles A Day in the Life chosen
as part of MMM radio station's tribute to the 40th
anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
album release.
About Me:
I have a wide range and can belt and growl, or sing
sweet and operatic. I have Celtic and Middle Eastern
flourishes, and good vocal technique in general. My
voice lends itself well to blues and jazz, but I love
to sing rock. My favorite songs to sing are by Janis
Joplin, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Joni
Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Jethro Tull and lots more
classic rock. I also like to sing Celtic style music
like Loreena McKennitt and The Cranberries, and Middle
Eastern music. Some melodic electronica and folk and
pop music are fun to sing. And I do have an
embarrassing fondness for '80's alternative, like The
Cure, Oingo Boingo, and The Eurythmics.
I have performed with my folk/rock band,
Patchwork Monkey, and my jazz band, Honey and
Brimstone. I have also guested with other local acts,
and performed in stage musicals.
I'm a professional costume designer, and love to add
theatrical elements to stage production. (My degree is
in fashion, however, and I would like to be part of a
band with some style, I can help my fellow
bandmembers...)
I'm looking for more opportunites to perform, as my
other projects have band members with other
committments, so I don't play out as often as I'd
like. I frequently sing at High
Noon's Gomeroke on Tuesday nights, and Stella's Speakeasy's open mic/jam (3rd Thursday of the month), just to quench that thirst for stagetime. I also frequently guest with The Lichen Brothers on Thursdays at Stella's, but I would be
interested in taking on another music project,
possibly to even be my main focus, if the right group
comes along. Please feel free to contact me
if you'd like to make some music with me or if you'd like to hear me sing out somewhere.

Julia Vikman Band mostly is a trio, but there are also many other configurations for any type of event with adding up to about seven with top musicians. There are available: clarinet, violin, saxophone, electric and acoustic guitar, accordion and contrabass.
Interesting repertoire, included famous russian songs, ballades, romances and international standards of 60s/70s.
All songs we played with good arrangements and modern sound, however very original and exotic.
Those advantages make Julia Vikman Band 100% successful choice for every concert and of course on Your event.

Biography
Ex-bass player and vocalist for post-punk aggro/noise-rock outfit Below the Sound (from Albuquerque New Mexico on local label Crustacean Records).
I relocated to Madison last year and I am currently recording music under the moniker ShadowMusic. It is experimental gothic fusion which mixes various genres and sounds including old-timey murder ballads, post-punk, noise, rock, tragic folk laments, jazz, prog, traditional death dirges, industrial, country, new wave, bluegrass and miscellaneous samples.
While I am not currently actively searching for band members, I would like to find some like-minded musicians (piano/keys, drums/percussion, guitar, bass, etc...) to join the ShadowMusic project and help to write, record and turn it into a live entity. So, if you feel like you might be interested in being involved in the project, feel free to get in touch.

Biography
Madison/Spring Green area power trio Boheme '66 consists of Charles Boheme (vocal/songwriter/guitar), the former frontperson and perfunctory guitar for the defunct TwoBuck (whose other remnants have gone on to form Thieves on Holiday); TwoBuck's former bass player, the gorgeous Renee de la Boheme; and drummer extraordinaire Hans Boheme. Our sound: Think vaguely dark tone with some major blues-inflections, thrum drone, pedantic pedagogy, and neo-60s-acid-retro mixing with the occasional alt-country death song. Think Black Angels, Wolfmother, Thee Shams, Black Keys, Howlin' Wolf, Mississippi Sheiks, and The Doors.
More info, music samples from our debut demo, and pics available on our website and/or on www.myspace.com/boheme66 .
We're looking to ratchet up the sound so email us if you're more or less local*, like our sound, and might be interested in adding to the ensemble and if you play: rawk-bluesy lead or rhythm guitar willing to alternately work behind and overshadow existing guitar; keys!!! [Ray Manzarek B3 vibe?]; brass, harmonica, hand and/or other percussion; backing vocals, scratchers, etc. (For Madison musicians: We're going to be playing Madison quite a bit over the next year, so if you're interested and have/are willing to rent a practice space in Madison, we might be able to trade off practices between here and there.) 21+ to any age; gender/race unimportant; skill/experience level RELATIVELY unimportant (no 1st yearers please); female musicians definitely encouraged--for all, laidback but tuned in is key!
*Local = Within a half hour or so of Spring Green (35-40 minutes WNW of Madison). No more than 1-2 gigs a month, some occasional regional traveling required; practice once a week.

Biography
My main proficiency is stringed instruments and my main instrument is the guitar. I've been recording with my good friend Sean Karwath for the last 3-4 years. We have our own studio set up and are currently recording our latest album. Our music sounds psychedelic with rock and folk influence. I lay down all the strings and Sean plays the percussions. We both work at Full Compass and make music at night. We are currently unsigned, but looking to make music fulltime. We are currently in search of a singer.

Biography
check us out at our websites:
pearlsnapsaturday.com
myspace.com/pearlsnapsaturday
My name is Matt Dahl and I am in the band, Pearl Snap Saturday. I have been playing the guitar for 7 years now, and have recently decided to take the playing and performing to the next level. We play a wide variety of songs and styles, but if I had to break us down into a narrow style I would say we focus on rock and roll music (OAR and Dave Matthews Band to The Beatles, Elvis, and Johnny Cash).
We have played shows in downtown Madison since February of '07 to great turn outs. We have won and participated in a few UW-sponsored Battle of the Band's, and had the opportunity to play on Library Mall. Our main audience we are trying to hit are the college kids. We will promote to them and generally try to play the downtown venues. We practice at a great facility (no charge) on the west side of Madison, which basically is used as practice for now.
Thanks for reading my bio and I hope this band takes interest to you!

Biography
I play lead guitar and a little bass. On guitar I like to add the color. I have mainly worked for singer songwriter types/Americana over the years and don't see myself being happy in a cover band. I find I still like to create. I'm not bad at producing either. I like playing to what other people write and helping to develop it into a sound. Wife, no kids. job...not planning to take to the road anytime soon. Live 20 minutes out of Madison and work in Downtown Madison.
INFLUENCES: All over. From the gods of classic rock to some contemporary greats. To be the closest I'd say: Page, Edge, Gilmour, Lenois, Cipps, Gabrels, Dylan, Buddy Miller,Santana, Stills . There's a million I guess.
EXPERIENCE: Not much lately. Played in some bands in the Northeast in the early 90's. Was a founding member of the Pipe Circus here on bass. Short stint with Doll. Played some on Sara Pace's first record a few years back. Play with friends and some jams to stay limber. I'm not awesome by any means. I do what I do and sometimes that works for people. I can play sublime and ridiculous. Although sometimes the in between is lost on me:) Accomplished noodler and studying more twang. I'm not much into new rock or metal but would consider Hip Hop which seems to be moving in an interesting direction locally. Happy to add track for people to add that magic thing that a recording may lack.
WHAT I WANT: Not sure. I've meet a lot of good writers who don't have bands and don't know how to get one. I'd like to find a good rhythm section that could handle finding a talent and showing them what can happen with a group of people who can flesh things out for them. I've seen this in other music scenes but don't see it a lot here outside of jazz. I realize that a group like this would have to learn some covers just to practice, but the magic is in the choices I guess. Other than that just looking for an outlet and someone not creatively dead to play with. Hope that didn't sound too pompous. It's just how I feel these days.

Biography
My way of thinking about music is don't copy the swimming teacher, learn to swim.
Music is too abstract to be turned into just another mathematical function. If there is no soul, no feel, no flow to the music then it really doesn't serve any purpose...you know, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
So I just love any music that flows straight out of the musicians.
I write music, but would like to learn more about how to compose.
Major influences: Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads, Django Reinhardt, the Meters, Beatles, Herbie Hancock, Zeppelin, Mos Def, Wyclef Jean, Pink Floyd, the Roots, Radiohead, RATM, Sly & the Family Stone, Marley(s), Arcade Fire.

Biography
My band and I want to play great music and have fun doing it. Right now, we want to expand our sound and add more musicians.
I'm a 24-year-old lead singer. There's no mistaking that my voice was made for the blues, but I'm pretty versatile. I've got a group together already and we're just starting out. Officially, the group is made of two guys on acoustics and myself. However, three other musicians play all our gigs with us (violin, drum kit, stand up/E bass). We've got our own equipment and a practice space. We're starting to play weekly at Madison venues with great feedback so far.
The songs we play are what we call (dis)cover songs. The majority of the music we play is not a selection that everyone knows, but that's intentional. We really dig into music that's out there to find stuff that fits us. Some of the recognizable tunes we cover are from Nickel Creek, Ray Lamontagne, Amos Lee, Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, & Janis Joplin. Eventually, we'll be writing and playing our own stuff.
If you're interested, email me and tell me what you're about.

Played bass from about 1965 to 1990, mostly full time, up to 250 nights a year. Semi-retired since then. Would prefer to play covers only, music of the 50s through the 70s, perhaps a tribute band. Also play harmonica & some guitar. Lots of experience as a lead and background vocalist.

Biography
Been playing roots rock, R&B and
roadhouse blues in No.
IL and all over WI for 18 years with
The Creepers. After two albums and a
song that made it
to #112 overall on garageband.com, I still
can't get a
booking in Madison. Hah! Not really. We were one of the only actual blues bands at 1055WMMMs Build Your Own Blues Fest in '05.
I hosted a blues jam
session in
Janesville every Wednesday night that
lasted for 7 years.

Biography
Hey! We're Joshua and Katie, 24 and 22 years old respectively, from Madison's near East side. We're grad students studying German linguistics at the UW and are generally pretty busy, but are REALLY hoping to start up/join a little band which we envision practicing with maybe twice a week or so, playing low-key gigs on the weekends, starting small with open mics and whatnot, that sort of thing! Being a couple we are a packaged deal, although it should be said that our musical tastes and talents do differ!
Katie: I sing! Also I play piano and guitar (although the latter only poorly). When it comes to singing and playing, I prefer Bluegrass and stuff which might vaguely be classified as country, such as: The Original Carter Family, Wilco, Gillian Welch, Alison Kraus, etc. That being said, I'm also open to covering anything from George Michael to the B-52s to John Denver to the Cranberries. My best friend and I used to sing bluegrass at open mics in California (where I'm from) and were referred to as The Jar Sisters. You can hear some of our tunes on myspace.
Joshua: I play guitar. Favorite bands: The Ventures, The Clash, Rush, Elvis Costello ( when he was still with the Attractions), and Coheed and Cambria. Those bands are varied enough to show how flexible I'll be when it comes figuring out what to play. My first band was called Seven on Tom, my last band was called Jewskillingarabskillingjews and you can find both of them on myspace if you like, although we won't sound like either of them. Im looking forward to playing!
The first step would be for us to find a girl who can sing with Katie so that they can harmonize. Then a bass guitarist and/or any other instrument for that matter! We're two pretty friendly, easy-going sorts and would be happy to meet potential bandmates for lunch/ice cream/coffee to see how we get along and everything. Finding another musical couple would make for a great dynamic, but we're also not gonna limit ourselves so much as to who we're looking for. We hope to hear from you!

Biography
Zazu (my real name is Andrea). I am currently looking for musicians to start a new project. I like Progressive Rock or Metal/Classical European style Metal with female singers, Classical Music and Meditation music. I sang in various rock bands for years and a few Metal bands. My last band was Progressive Metal. I enjoyed the original and progressive music the most. It doesn't have to be heavy, but something unique with a lot of passion or music that is relaxing. I would like to sing at least 50% in a band or project and play bass and/or flute/piccolo. I don't need to be the only singer. It is important that the project have a decent drummer. Age isn't important although 30ish-40ish with an identity and optimistic outlook on life and a sense of fun, helps people write good music together, without the tense and odd interpersonal situations that develop with those people better off in therapy than a band.

Biography
I've been playing guitar for about six years now, inspired by Jimmy Page to start, like many else... I have musical tastes spanning artists from Simon and Garfunkel to Cradle of Filth . Some of my favorite guitarists are John McLaughlin, Jason Becker, Alexi Laiho, Jeff Beck, so on. I can't say I can play too many songs by these people, but their emotive styles are what draw my attention. My playing is not extremely technical but I could be quite dextrous if required. I look for emotion, complexity, subtlety and form in the music I listen to and aspire to play. I have skeletons of songs I'm writing and am looking for like-minded musicians who would like to jam/form a band. I am also relatively fluent on certain Indian hand percussion instruments.Check out this video if you like.

For me, music is a celebration of the collective thoughts, feelings and experiences that bring us together and enrich our lives. As a singer/songwriter in my 30s, my music reveals some common threads of life through a vintage, urban rock sound. I have a deep, soulful voice that is often accompanied by the rich chords and funky rhythms of a keyboard or guitar.
Artist influence and tastes includes some all-time faves (Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Elton John & Prince) and recent indulgences (Mofro, The White Stripes, Maroon 5 and Ryan Shaw).
I am seeking a dynamic guitarist for song development and local performancesomeone to compliment, yet diversify my style. The ability to bring the flair and intensity of an electric guitar to an acoustic performance is important; as is, I suspect, common interest in some of the artists (styles) above. Songwriting collaboration is welcome, as is interest in future band scale-up.
I will have a song demo available for download early in 2008, at which point I will actively recruit a guitarist. Drop me an email anytime if interested.
Cheers,
bri

Biography
I'm a bass player looking to jam out in the Stevens Point area. I am currently in a band that plays in the area dubbed the CWB(Chronically Wasted band). I have some knowlege of scales and notes, and a great appreaciation for free-form music. Perhaps a jam band is what I seek to play in. In addition to these things I also am able to play lead electric, my style is sort of a driving barrage of notes until I work my way to a smooth ending.

Biography
I've been playing rhythm guitar and singing for awhile, in and out of performing bands, and writing songs just as long. I also dabble with keyboard, drums, and bass guitar. I basically love playing and performing music. My influences include the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and modern stuff like Andrew Bird, Oasis, Peter, Bjorn, and John and Radiohead. I have been writing, performing, and recording with Madison's 8889 since 2003 and am always interested in working with different people, gigging, recording, whatever. I work and go to school, so I can only put so many hours in per week, but I'm always up for playing with like-minded musicians who want to make music for people as much as I do. You can hear some of my original stuff at www.8889music.com.

I am a female vocalist looking to get into another band. It has been a few years now since I played out and I miss it. My music type is somewhat eclectic. I like the following: Melissa Ethridge, Jewel, James Brown, Sass Jordan, Sarah McLachlan, Chuck Berry, etc. I will sing anything (I may not be good at everything, but I will try). I have a house in Madison and work in Milwaukee. I write lyrics and have music in my head for the songs I write, but I do not know how to play anything.

Biography
I made my living as a musician in the Midwest and Canada for 15 years. I fronted the band, was the lead singer, played percussion toys and a little rhythm guitar. O.K., it was a regular-sized rhythm guitar - an Ovation acoustic/electric. In addition to the Ovation, I used a Gibson B-45 12-string from time to time. I'm also very comfortable talking to the crowd.
My greatest skill is as a singer. I have a vocal range of over 3 octaves. I can sing just about anything: pop, rock, country, oldies, funk, jazz, swing - try me! If I don't know it, I'll learn it.
At this time, I'm interested in gigging occasionally in the Madison Metro area and possibly other venues. If you want to make some music and some money by working with me, let me know.

Biography
We're Alton Kelly. We decided to start a band in January of 2007. And since then we have gotten much exposure in the Madison Area. For a band so young, composed of high school students around the Madison area from 15-17 years old. We definantly try not to sound like a cliche ordinary garage band. We take pages out of the books of the greats such as: John Mayer, Stan Getz, Norah Jones, and Ella Fitzgerald to try and assemble music that is original as well as provocative. With jazz as the core of all our music we strive to make sure that everynote rings with intentionality as well as having artistic flair. We love and thank God for all the opportunities...and we hope to be doing music the rest of our lives. Blessings,
Alton Kelly

Musically: I was a formally trained wedding vocalist for many years before I got married. I studied Opera but my heart wasnt in it. I love Jazz, Big Band, Standards,Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee..... Also love Rock and Roll, Alternative, Blue grass, soul. Just love music. But my dream would be to sing in a cool jazz lounge on weekends.
Personally: I am 32 years old, a mom to 3 girls, 2 being infant twins. So I need a band or piano player who understands the disruptions children can bring! But that said I am commited to rehearsing at least once a week and gigging on the weekend.
So I am looking for a band, small or big band. Or a piano player or guitar player to work with.

Biography
all I do.
I have played cello for about 6 years so i have lots of knowledge on music theory and mechanics for my age. I have a decent cello(the bridge says Busche Im not sure if thats the brand of the cello or just the bridge).
I Started guitar about 2 years ago but i have learned quickly thanks to my dad who also builds and plays classical guitars for a hobby. I currently have a alverez acoustic, Fender Telecaster Standard, as well as various classical and flamenco guitars.
I Borrowed my cousins bass a while ago and already learned some memorable riffs. Its a cheap package squire but it does the job.
I also recently hooked up the ol' keyboard again and have learned a few riffs but Id like to have a teacher. its a Roland JX-3P which serves me ok.
Recently i bought my friends drums and those are pretty fun.
Currently i use Power tab Editor to compose songs for guitar and bass. I use the free version of n-track for recording purposes and audacity for editing. I use a m-audio usb preamp with two condenser mics and stands, cables, and clips. I also use Finale Printmusic for orchestra arrangements.
I have a bunch songs writen on in tabs and about 8-10 songs recorded(but they are sort of short), when i get the preamp and the entire summer, i should have many more.

Biography
We're two guitarists looking for a drummer for an indie rock band. We would also audition another guitar player so I could switch to bass, or a bass player. We will be playing originals in the style of pavement, tapes n tapes, duplomacy, old modest mouse, sparklehorse, pixies, pedro the lion, arcade fire, with possibly some sigur ros elements, or stuff with some similar elements as Andrew Bird, band of horses, broken social scene, silver jews, peter bjorn and john, and architecture in Helsinki.

Biography
Well I have been writing songs(lyrics) for 8 years-ish. I don't have extensive music knowlage and usually have to feel out the songs tempo and mood. I do have 15 songs written and would like to set to music. If your thing is NOT singing and writing lyrics and instead playing awesome acoustic guitar we might be able to work things out. I really enjoy singing. I have a bluesy sound but I make it work usually with almost all genres of music. METAL NOT BEING ONE OF THEM. I'll listen to it but screaming is not my thing. The website link is for a former band. Lack of communication is what made that former. Check it out.

Biography
Ok so I will basically sing just about anything. I've been singing since I was a small child and do just about nothing but. I'm in 2 choirs at my school and are activly involved in musicals both in and outsind of school. I've been playing electric bass fo about 5 years but it's been off and on again I never put much effort into it but can learn music with practice. I have made attempts at piano and can learn music with practice. I recently picked up a guitar and quickly found that is the instrument for me. I've only been playing for about 2 weeks but I never put it down. Singing is my strong point. I'm looking to be a lead vocalist for a band with maby filling in on bass and guitar or piano/keyboard if needed but writing wise lyrics and melodies are about all I can do. I listen to music of every style you can think of. I believe in positive music and I am a christian so agree demonic stuff is not on my list of compliances. I'm just looking to find a talented local group of people to write music and hopfully perform with.

Things to be included would involve a small gun trailing around on some guy's belt trailing blue sparks, flourescent
