Biography

I am 21 yrs old.

Have been playing guitar for about two years.
The time period I have been playing doesn't affect my abilities at all.
I just got back from King of The Blues at 3rd place in Wisconsin.

I can learn new songs rather quickly and have wrote little pieces here and there as incomplete phrases of songs.
But, I am not looking to form a COVER BAND.

I am looking to create a new type of sound through what I play.
I cannot do it on my own however and need a group of people to play with.

I just recorded some simple practice clips of just the guitar on my website.

They are not the best of my abilities by any means. They are just quick posts I did in about an hour to give an idea of how I sound.

If you're interested in looking at what my guitar sounds like, you can visit my website.

The main thing I always try to push is that I can't read notation.
I've never had to because when I hear notes I have the ability to Feel what I play.

I want to go out and play through what I feel, not notes on a piece of paper. I already have this ability, but, playing guitar with no words or drums would confuse people.

Biography

Though I play an assortment of different instruments I prefer to play guitar. I am into all sorts of different genres: jazz, indie, math-rock, post-punk, industrial, jam, alternative, ambient, emo, metal etc, etc, anything original i can appreciate. I enjoy music with a lot of dynamic texture, slow and quiet then progressively getting louder and faster with a climax. I also enjoy more chaotic less structured music. Music that still has coherence but can wander off into newly undiscovered territory that may have never been achieved without trying something new and unique. I am very passionate about what i do musically, finding that chemistry with those who have a similar outlook has been a vigorous endeavor that experience has shown takes both time and patience. I would like to experience a jam with as many different musicians as possible until my hunger for creating music is satisfied with the best possible match. This is a very limited cross-section of bands i am influenced by at this point: Radiohead, Phish, Alexisonfire, American Football, Murder by Death, Appleseed Cast, Early Day Miners, Bear vs. Shark, Coldplay, Incubus, Jimi Hendrix, Mogwai, Mono, Pink Floyd, Saosin, The Album Leaf, The Mercury Program, Tristeza, Evidence, Goo Goo Dolls, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Logh, Air, John Tesh, Tortoise, Death Cab for Cutie, Victor Wooten, Tool, James Taylor, Yes, The Duo, Don Ross, BT, Lymbic Systym, Opeth, The Six Parts Seven, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waits, Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Clint Mansell etc.... If you want to jam contact Josh by email guitarsmurf22@gmail.com or contact aol username guitarsmurf22.

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.

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.

Goal is to have some fun, get back into playing and perhaps play some bars around town. Nothing too serious. Above all I want to have fun playing and get back into practice then see what happens from there. I have a drum kit at home, otherwise you'll need your own instruments. Please, no one under 24. You kids get too serious :P.

Biography

I am a 41 yr old Madisonian and am interested in finding others to jam with or form a band.

I am an experienced bassist and also play acoustic and electric guitar. I've also played flute, also sax, and violin, though that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....:) though I'm more than willing to get up to speed on any of the three should the need arise. I've played bass and sung backing vocals (occasionally some lead) in 2 different bands (one from 1999-2004 and the other from 2007-present). I have experience doing originals and covers and have played everything from Hank Williams Sr. to the Beatles to The B-52's to Katy Perry.

Anyway, if anyone is interested in playing, please feel free to e-mail

Biography

I am what most would classify as a closet musician. I've been playing guitar for about 25 years and while I've played in bands, it's been years since I've been on a stage.

I listen to mainly classic rock and am influenced by Van Halen, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, and other bands of the like.

What I have been doing with my spare time is a lot of writing and recording. I play everything from piano and guitar to drums and bass - some better than others.

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
