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 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
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.

Biography
Don't cancel that gig! Willing to sub for missing bass player... also play some rhythm guitar... I have been playing forever and have a very good ear... also sing harmony and backup vocals. Currently work with Joanne Powers, (improvisatory jazz/experimental music), and Kronic Jones (roots rock, blues and reggae), can also play mainstream jazz charts if you have them... soul or funk, sure... cut my teeth on Miles Davis' leg... fun for me is painting while listening to Arnold Schoenberg, Morton Feldman, Scriabin or Brecht... and yet, am always happy to find situation where I can sing mountain style, or acid rock country sounds... (like maybe Hot Tuna or The Byrds) love Hazel Dickens and Odetta... sing Hank Williams, John Prine, other traditional tunes... played with Southern Rock/blues band for years, Alman Brothers sound is natural to me... love the Holy Modal Rounders... gig with a Bluegrass band in Milwaukee on occasion. I came up in Chicago playing blues and jazz, learned acoustic bass playing with Mingus records and sitting in with others... studied jazz etc. with Russell Thorne... briefly schooled as classical bassist, and can read if necessary, also play flute but do not currently own one... spent years in choir and band as a child and teen, feel more comfortable on stage than off, generally speaking, and people say they find me easy to get along with (just don't cross me!) (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 grew up listening to a boatload of music from the 70's. The first concert I ever went to was a KISS show back in December of 1977. Judas Priest was the opening band - what an eye-opening experience. A bare-bones, 3-piece, Ludwig, was the first kit I ever owned. How bare bones was it? Kick, tom, snare - and one crash cymbal. And let me tell you...The J. Geils Band's Love Stinks song sounded epic on this kit. I've owned a Tama, and (now) a Pearl set since - and have a few more drums, and cymbals, these days. Self-taught - I always had a keen sense of rhythm. Also, my air guitar solos are unreal. Some (mostly) likes and not so much...Bun E. Carlos...less is more. Neil Peart...more with more. Terry Bozzio...less with more and highly overrated. Tre' Cool - rock on. Jeff Campitelli - the metronome. John Bonham - is THE man. Keith Moon - what a looney, but he could play like the dickens. Steve Smith - don't stop believin. Phil Collins - can play AND sing. Alex Van Halen - bring back the roto toms/dragon drums. Dave Grohl - who woulda thunk. Stewart Copeland - can play and talk your ear off. Matt Cameron - some great beats and is rock solid.

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.

Thanks for visiting my profile.
I currently play 2nd guitar in Pink Houses although my past experience is mainly in Funk, Blues and Rockin' R&B-oriented formats.
A solid rhythm section is tops on my list. I try to keep my chord voicings tight and have a good ear and have decent soloist chops. Ultimately, I love the sounds of Hammond Organs, Clavinets, Rhodes Pianos and Horns. Mix those up with a together-combination of drums and bass and that's the recipe for me.
I'm always interested in meeting players who are interested in performing some music that will make people move. Please contact me with any questions/comments or if you'd like to discuss any opportunities towards working something up.

Biography
I've been playing electric bass for over 17 years. In the recent years, I've dedicated quite a bit of time to writing songs. I'm mostly self-taught, but I know some theory and have the desire to learn more.
Madison bands I've been in include The Art of Brainwashing, Environmental Sounds for Apes, Modern Addict, and Eccentrifuge. Currently, I'm involved with a couple of original projects, Terradrones (myspace.com/terradrones) and Norton Cornott (myspace.com/nortoncornott).
I listen to a vast range of musical styles and incredibly rocking groups/composers. It doesn't really matter whether we love the same music or not, I'm more interested in how we corroborate each other's skills/songs. That said, I'd be interested in taking on another project right now. So if you are looking to start a band or need a bassist, contact me and we'll see how things meld. Cheers, J

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
I've been playing guitar for 5 years now, was big into heavy rock n' roll (guns n' roses) for a long time, but now really vibe to Radiohead and more indie-type music.
I'm 20, looking for some quality musicians to start playing with. I love playing piano and guitar, and can sub in for drums if need be.
To be honest, I have really high expectations of myself and my peers, but am also really laid back and just want to have fun/play good music.
I'm transferring to UW-Madison next fall, and would love to start a Radiohead cover band or something along those lines and start playing live shows. However, I'm obviously open to other suggestions too, I just want to have fun.

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!

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...

I'm a guitarist that is proficient at many styles, although I dig rock and blues the most. I've got pro gear, I sightread and improvise well. I play around Madison with several bands, ( the Mudangels, Big Blue, Juice Jenkins, the New Crew Band ) and am always looking for new opportunities and musicians to perform with. If you're a musician who loves the blues and would like to explore some recording project possibilities get ahold of me. If you need some hot lead guitar to complete your sound, I am reasonable and professional. I've won some MAMA awards locally and been nominated for a few more with a variety of bands, and have tons of performing experience and references available. I love to play and am always looking for new work, but hey, it's the music biz so who isn't.

Biography
I've been playing electric guitar for a little over 2 years now. I'm taking lessons regularly and I'm learning and perfecting my skills every day. I own 3 guitars and a 15 watt amp. I plan to upgrade to a larger, more powerful amp in 2010. I love to play rock, metal, and some alternative rock. My musical inspiration comes from many bands including Metallica (favorite band), AC-DC, Dream Theater, Luna Mortis, All that Remains, Jeff Loomis (favorite solo artist), Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, Megadeth, Lacuna Coil, Shinedown, Rev Theory, Three Days Grace, Dragonforce, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, Airbourne, Godsmack, Stone Sour, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Styx, Queen, Caroline's Spine, The Offspring, ZZ Top, Drowning Pool, Dave Matthews Band, Otep, Sick Puppies, and Nonpoint. My goal as a musician and guitar player is to join a band. I want to be in a band to become a better musician and also to gain experience and have fun playing music with others. I also want to meet new people who have the same passion for music that I do.

I'm interested in being a vocalist or (hand percussion) for any band that does not do metal or any cheesy cover songs of 80s rock or 90's ultra pop songs. Otherwise I'm open to whatever and feel comfortable doing various styles. I have a good stage presence and a strong voice as well as some skills on guitar and real solid hand percussion talents.

Biography
I've been a musician since before I can even remember. I started with piano, and switched to percussion/drums when I was 9. I've been playing drums ever since.
I studied in a music conservatory for a year after high school, and decided that the classical route was just not my bag. I still love listening to it though.
I've been focusing heavily on guitar lately, and have a few solo songs written. I'm truly a drummer though, and I will always be a much better drummer than anything else. Rhythm is my specialty. I can pretty much play any style, any day of the week.
I don't really know many current bands. My influences are Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, Motley Crew, Metallica, AC/DC, Buddy Rich, Ed Shaughnessy, and Max.
Looking for other musicians who need an excellent drummer. I'll keep the beat, you keep the notes.

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!!!

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've been playing lead/rhythm guitar for 35+ years, mostly what is now 'classic rock', but I've always been a big fan of the blues.
I've ALWAYS listened to ZZ Top, but for the last few years have gravitated more toward Eric Johnson, Johnny A, Satch and the usual gang of recent guitar gods. I'll never play like 'em but I do try to absorb some of their stuff!
Jimmy Page was my biggest influence early on, EVH moreso later.
Favorites: ZZ Top, Zep, VH, Styx, REO, Deep Purple, Doobies, etc.....
Recent Fave: Bonamassa
Local Faves: Steve Swadley, Andy Ziehli
Currently: Kicked out of a country band (of all things!?!) called Country Twist. Mind-numbing, hokey, lowest-common-denominator music. YeeHaw!! Lobotomized players apply here!
Would like to find a blues/boogie/classic rock-type band to play out a couple times a month.

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,
Bill Lockwood

I have been playing guitar ever since I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. My favorite music is from the sixties but I also like Mellencamp, ACDC, Police, 70s, 80s, etc. I have strong vocals in the genre of John Fogerty, Mellencamp, and also like good harmony. A good song is a good song no matter how old or new.

Biography
Other than the stuff listed above, I've been playing since January 2008, but I've been studying hardcore even with a full-time job.
Was raised on classical and classics as far as music goes until I hit high school, then I really got into alternative and grunge, some ska (because, well, it was fun to listen to) and punk - I wouldn't consider myself a hard rocker, but I'm a big fan of bluesy mid-level distortion with great riffs (i.e. ACDC, SRV, Jimi, etc.) as well as level-headed, cool rock like the Who, indie rock like Pulp, the Stone Roses, harder stuff like Dropkick Murphys, etc.
Not a big fan of country, though I do like certain southern rock ala Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks, Allman Brothers, Kansas, etc. I'm definitely open to the newer styles of music. It's just hard to when the stuff from the 60's and 70's sounds so good.
Otherwise, I've played piano when I was 6 until 14 years old, drums from 14 to 18, and guitar from 23 on. Guitar is definitely my favorite, though, and the one I'm going to continue to play. I'm also thinking of picking up the bass and/or mandolin, maybe even refreshing my piano skills eventually.
I've performed at open mics, blues jams, and a couple performances. I have some recording experience as well.

Biography
I love a wide variety of music but have always been most drawn to the blues. R&B, rock n roll. I listen to a lot of world music including African, Middle Eastern, and Indo-European music I am especially fond of new world fusion music. I havent played in a group for a long time but made my early living playing music professionally.
A list of the guitarists that I admire and listen to the most would be too big to include here. A partial list includes: Luther Guitar Junior Johnson, Andrew Junior Boy Jones, Albert Collins, Lurie Bell, Jimi Hendrix, U.P Wilson, Smokey Wilson, Otis Rush, Johnny Guitar Watson, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Rogers, Freddy King, Snooks Eaglin, T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, Lowell Fulson, Jack White, Shuggie Otis, Peter Green, Byther Smith, Long John Hunter, Guitar Slim, Eric Clapton, Albert King, David Gilmore, Magic Sam Madgett, Carl Weathersby, Steve Cropper, Joe Walsh, Peter Townsend, etc.
I am interested in playing in a jam / garage band and would be agreeable to playing public dates as well. I would like to play with a horn section and keyboardists. Horn lines inspired much of the vocabulary of the guitar that I love. I consider my self an ensemble player I find guitar heroics and histrionics tiresome - and consider percussion and vocals to be the foundation of the music. I quit playing in groups because I encountered too many prima donnas. I dont have any musical axes to grind I just want to enjoy the music. I have Fender and Gibson guitars and Fender amplifiers.

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
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!

We do occasional jams at my studio on Regent St in Madison, typically 3-4 people, free-form rock and fusion sounds, occasional covers we pull out of thin air.
Those who come are generally pretty good, so its easier and more fun with great mix, beat and no sour notes.

Biography
Genetically pre-disposed to the bass, I am always in search of the elusive monster project that encompasses lyrical message, enticing rhythms, and compelling performance. Ideally an organic funk blended with world beat, or better yet, insanely trippy circus music - a swirling dervish of instrumentation! Interested in a collaborative approach to making music, topical lyrics and performing in alternative venues.
I have extensive playing experience in a broad spectrum of projects, and am generally laid back and easy to work with. In addition to full band projects, I'd consider collaborative partnerships with songwriters with the intent to build an interesting project. While studio work and woodshedding is fine, I'm truly motivated by live performance and entertaining the masses.

Biography
I am 28 years old I have played drums since i was a kid, I also play some rhythm guitar and mandolin. I have sat in on drums with a few bands and i have been the lead singer in a small band that played every couple weeks in the New Glarus area, i played mandolin and some rhythm guitar in that group. I mainly like to play country music or just good party music . My influences would have to be Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs, any bluegrass music, Johnny Cash, George Strait, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson and any classic rock music, especially southern rock. I have grown up around music, my dad was in a country band and has been playing guitar for over 30 years and 2 of my uncles are in bands currently, and it has kind of rubbed off on me. It has always been a dream of mine to start up a band or join a band so i thought i would try this site to see if anything comes of it. So if you have simmilar interests and would like to possibly get something going feel free to contact me.

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
My name is Brian and I'm currently on the path of making music my passion and occupation.
My musical influences are all over the board from 50s rock and roll, rockabilly, punk (catchy punk, not whiny pop punk), certain forms of classic rock, new wave, folk stuff, and whatever I open myself up to. I enjoy the variety that music offers.
Currently I am playing as Brian McKay of the Milk Carton Kids around Madison. Looking for musicians serious about music.

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
I'm 21 and have been playing guitar for about 6 years and am a very devoted musician.
I can read music. I've played in groups before, performed in the Fab 50's Show in the Dells, with the band Being Humans, and also for the Wisconsin Singers at UW Madison.
I'm looking for serious players near Madison that want to form a band, write original songs, and have lots of fun doing it.
I play classic rock influenced greatly by Led Zeppelin, so if you're a fan of Zep you'll probably like the stuff I write. I'm also a big fan of Hendrix, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, JET, and Nirvana.
Let me know if you're interested or just want to jam. If you have any questions about me or my music just send me an email.

Biography
I have played music since I was 17 years old. I'm from Mexico City and I played with very good musicians there.
My first influences are Tony Iommi, Glen Tmpton, Mark Farner, Jaco Pastorius, Gezeer Butler, Alvin Lee, Ted Nugent and Johnny Winter. I can be fast and energetic. I try to project my feelings with the bass or the guitar.
I don't like the southern rock as skiynyrd, Doobie Bros and others who are called classic rock; Classic rock is more than that. I like just a southern band and it's an awesome band. I'm talking about Black Oak Arkanzas. I also like Black Sabbath --Ozzy age, Grand Funk, Led Zeppelin, Ten years after, Jimi Hendrix, Scorpions, Judas Priest, etc. Here in USA nobody plays different music, everybody play skynyrd, doobie brothers, Green day, Alice in Chains, Nickelback , 3 Doors Down, etc.
I am tired to hear paranoid, we're an american band, Sweet home alabama, Kryptonite... etc. Why? Guys, you just play everything is played on the radio. The music is culture and I think it needs to be known by the people, more than the music is played in the radio. The bands before mentioned they have much better music than is played on the radio. So I would like to find somebody who likes to play in a power trio band and play something different of the rest. I don't like to play pop-fluff music, neither country, no wedding bands.
I also like to improvise and try to do something original applying my own style. If you want to contact to me, just do it! I'm open mind and open to any comentary.

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]

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.

I play mostly 12-string acoustic....I like most genres, but find myself learning oldies, singer/songwriter, and some old country (before it turned in to crappy formula music for the masses). Influenced heavily by Hendrix, Zep, Bob Dylan, and too many others to list. My goal here is to find others that just like to hang out and play just for the sake of playing. My favorite venue is a camp fire.

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
Rock guitarist with great day job, no commercial ambitions but serious about music as a creative outlet. I play mainly electric lead and rhythm guitar. Main strength is a very good ear for pitch and harmony and some ability with melodic improvised leads. I'm already in a stable and reasonably busy rock/pop cover band (see www.sundogsmadison.com), but am interested in exploring other styles on the side, especially folk-rock, Celtic, reggae, etc., with the help of other musicians knowledgeable about these styles. I would welcome the chance to collaborate with the right singer/songwriter.

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 have been playing drums for 7 years now and since I picked up the sticks, I haven't been able to put them down. I'm a student at UW Whitewater as a backup plan, so playing music is a welcomed escape from studies. I'm primarily self taught, but took lessons for 3 years learning basic jazz, latin, and rock feels and grooves. I recently started writing music in a band called Fragile Utopia which is a little more commercial centered (94.1 JJO music.) I also did an interview for the band on the JJO Local stage where they featured the band for an hour. But I believe the more you play the better. All I want to do is play and make good music.
I have studio experience both behind the kit and behind the board. My life long friend Bill Rahko and I decided to release a CD and learned everything from experience. I actually find myself more comfortable with a click track in my ears, but love going with the ebb and flow of a live band. I played guitar on the album also, but am completely self taught and don't REALLY know what I'm doing. I just know what sounds good to me.
My main influences are drummers like Neil Pert, Matt McDonough, Joey Jordison, Shannon Larkin, Danny Carey, and Morgan Rose. I'm all for branching out and learning every time I play so all styles are welcomed.
My goals are to play as much music as possible and to forever be a student of the drum kit. The more I play and the more musicians I meet the better.

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.

I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years, so you would think I'd be better at it than I am. I did the usual garage-band thing in high school, and did a few bar gigs in college. Mostly I just got together with friends to jam. My earliest influences were Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Clapton, and of course Hendrix. I was also heavily influenced by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. At one time I could play

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
I am a 23- year old grad student, though still not certain about pursuing a professional career. Been passionate about music all my life and am willing to put fourth serious time and effort to perform and share with others.
I've been studying guitar for 12 years. Grew up on Metallica and Randy Rhoades. Migrated to Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Malmsteen in early to mid teenage years. Over the past several years I have been drawing on a wider range of sources of inspiration for an aggressively technical, yet comprehensive approach to theguitar. For me these sources include classical and baroque music, jazz and fusion, electronic, progressive metal, and melodic death metal.
I have released two full length recordings, one through Butch Vig's Smart Studio here in Madison. I have many years of performing experience at venues as large as Summerfest's Lazer Rock stage. I have been in hibernation (aka college) for the past 5 years, but have kept up my ability and am looking to perform and/or record again soon.

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.

Biography
Hello, my fellow bandmates and I are looking for a vocalist male or female that has a voice agressive enough to do metal and hard rock stuff, yet calm and collect to sing melodious vocals, age 18-21. Should be open minded to different music, weird philosophies, and others lyrics. Easy-going personality, and no ego and/or drama outside of the music. A sense of humor is a plus. If you have/haven't ever been in a band or group before please be encouraged to email.
---
Here's what you would be getting into if it works out:
- A three piece that consists of drums/percussion, bass, guitar.
- Practicing once a week as a group and at home by yourself.
- The oppurtunity to have fun playing music (gigs eventually).
- An eventual friendship with three decent people.
---
Goals: The three of us are focused on affecting minds with original music, with words or sounds, whether it involves your subconscious or it is straight to the point and in your face.
- We would like to play shows and have a local following.
- We want to some day record an album.
- We want to live and have fun through music.
We aren't looking to become the next big thing on the radio. Simply because none of us are listening to those kinds of radio stations.
We are all goal oriented and prepared to commit to making something happen artistically and musically.
---
If you want to set up time to play, email me with some personal info regarding your thoughts about this ad.
Thank you for reading...

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.

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.

Biography
Tret Fures career spans 4 decades. She began her professional work at the age of 16, singing in coffeehouses and campuses in the Midwest, moving to Berkeley where, after performing weekly on the campus of UC Berkeley where she attended college, she discovered that music really was her life. At 19, she moved to LA to pursue a songwriting and musical career. Within a year she was performing as guitarist and vocalist for Spencer Davis, touring with him and penning the single for his album Mousetrap . She went on to record her own album in 1973 on MCA/UNI Records, with the late Lowell George of Little Feat as her producer. With the success of that release, she opened for such bands as Yes, Poco, and the J Geils Band.
While recording her second album, Tret became interested in sound engineering, learning the trade and becoming one of the first women engineers in LA. Over the course of her career she has engineered and produced countless recordings by a variety of artists, including her own work.
In the early 80s, Tret left the mainstream music industry. Armed with a fierce desire to retain full artistic control, she began exploring the independent side of the industry and soon discovered the blossoming genre known as Womens Music. She has been a major player in that field ever since, recording with and producing some of the best of womens music including the legendary Meg & Cris at Carnegie Hall . She worked as a duo with Cris Williamson throughout the 90s releasing 3 CDs together through during those years. Now after 4 acoustic releases on her own label, Tomboy girl Records, she has re-established herself in the folk world winning the 2004 South Florida Folk Festival Singer/Songwriter Competition in 2 out of 3 categories. 2004 also brought her recognition with the prestigious Jane Schliessman Award for Outstanding Contributions to Womens Music.
Along with bridging the marketing, production, and music worlds, Tret serves as Vice President on the executive board of the Local 1000 Traveling Musicians Association--a union geared toward helping traveling musicians find security and longevity.

Biography
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 want to rock. It's as plain and simple as that. I'm willing to do what it takes to make a name for myself, and I will dedicate myself fully to any band I am in.
I love being on stage. I love the energy, and I love the crowd. I have quite a bit of experience performing music and theater for live crowds.
I'm 22 years old. I began taking piano lessons at age 8. I've been playing guitar for 6 years, and am now studying Classical Guitar and Vocals at Edgewood College where I am majoring in Music. I'm looking for people to play, gig, and generally rock with. I'm looking for people that have a good time, but are serious about playing well.
I listen to mainly classic and indie rock. I'll play almost anything, but I prefer music that will get a crowd going.
If you're a band that knows how to put on a fun show, is serious about playing well, and needs a guitar, a keyboard, or a vocalist, I'm yours.

Have been playing for 12 years and have been attempting to put something together since I moved to Madison in 2002, but have found mostly dead ends. I'm looking to do something serious, but am up for something more leisurely as well.
I used to play a lot of super-heavy stuff, but now mostly play blues and more straight-forward hard rock. I have really honed in my skills as a blues guitarist and would love to start a blues trio (or quartet).
Anyway, drop me a line if you're interested.

Biography
Hey ppls! I am looking to start a band, and it's in its early stages right now and checking out some possible musicians. I'm looking for a bassist and a drummer.

I've been playing for approx 18 yrs as a lead/rhythm guitarist. I would like to do mostly covers for now but would like to do some originals eventually as well. Some of my influences are Zakk Wylde, Dave Mustaine and Ozzy. Also some country such as Johnny Cashs' Ring of Fire. You can Check me out on YouTube here is the url. http://www.youtube.com/user/kingjoey31
All my videos are of me just me having fun, doing what I love to do. Let me know if this kind of project sounds interesting to you or if you have any questions.
Let's Rock!!! - Joey
P.S. Being at least 21 and drug free are a big must!! You must also be willing to have lots of FUN, but on the flip side be dependable!!!!

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
I'm 20 and currently enrolled at UW Madison.
I am a self-taught guitarist; I've been playing for around 6 years. I am rhythmically solid and can play quite expressively. I'm a rather good bassist (mostly pick-style with a little slap), and *OK* with the drums. I am also quite experienced in writing electronic music (hard and soft synths, midi sequencing, sampling, etc) and have some pretty good theory knowledge.
Lately I've been working on electronic music, which you can listen to here: http://www.thesixtyone.com/JupiterSkydive/collection/all/
If you're doing something electronic and need a guitarist, bassist, or someone to mash samples, hit me up!

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.

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.

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.

I can do soprano but like staying more in the alto range. I like old time string bands, delta blues, and contempoarary folk is great, too. I like doing covers of just about anything.

Bob, born in Milwaukee, began guitar lessons at 10 years old. In his teens he played drums in a marching band and in his 30's learned to play piano. With musical influences like The Beatles, The Who, Harry Chapin, and Jim Croce, (Why are most of his favorites dead?) Bob's tastes lie in the great melodies of the 60's and 70's. His piano instructor taught him the importance of music theory, and more importantly when to ignore it and just have fun!
Initially Bob seemed content playing guitar and piano for his own enjoyment hiding out in the bedroom until he met Joe on the basketball court who finally convinced him to

( Bluegrass, folk, jazz, improv. etc.) I'm also writing some original stuff. We have a full P.A. in our basement studio with recording equipment. I would eventually like to put together an electric band that plays some originals as well as covering the likes of - The Jerry Garcia Band, The Grateful Dead, Little Feat, The Radiators and many others. Would like to find a drummer with a good sense of dynamics ( soft hands ) and a guitar player with rhythm and lead experience as well as vocal harmonies. Lets jam...

Biography
I come from a family of classical musicians, and studied classical piano from ages 4-18. However my main instrument and my passion is guitar, which I taught myself starting when I was 12. I have a wide variety of influences including 70's prog, fusion, gypsy jazz, 60's rock and roll, new wave, post punk, and metal, both new and old.
Currently I'm working on a band called the deacon which is influenced by classic rock, classic metal, and some newer heavy metal.

Biography
I've been playing guitar for 7 or 8 years, and studied classical and jazz trumpet for 8 years. I listen to a wide variety of music, but I probably listen to classic rock and blues most. I'd be interested in playing in a lot of genres.
As far as gear, I have a Reverend Roundhouse 290 (Les-Paul style with P90 pickups), a Fender Telecaster with a Duncan 5-2 in the Bridge and a GFS Mini-hum in the neck, and an Epiphone Casino (Hollowbody with P90s), and a Traynor Custom Valve 40 amp, as well as a few pedals.

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.

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
I'm a proficient/really cool drummer looking to find a group of talented musicians to play with regularly. I've gigged for a total of 6 years throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. I have been drumming for about 12 years which includes playing in a jazz group, taking and giving private lessons, as well as playing in a jam band for over 4 years (Elf Lettuce, if ya'll have heard of 'em). I hope to find a group of musicians who are willing to play a pretty diverse range of music. From the jazzy side, to the reggae, and of course the funk and rock and roll. Latin would be my icing on the cake! I have my own kit, mode of transportation and desire to play. I would love to gig some time in the future, however, plans to attend UW Law in the fall might impinge on my availability. I can also sing a bit and would be willing to work on my vocals in a group setting. Please drop me a line if you're interested in a drummer for your group.

I'm in a band in need of a front man. We're doing Zeppelin, Trower, Johnny Winter, Black Sabbath, Bad Company and the like. We're in our 40s, well the drummer isn't any more but looks like he could be. Two of us are in the Oconomowoc area and the drummer is in Eagle, where we practice. Milwaukee seems to be bereft of good front men so we're looking Madison way. We're serious, boardering on Spinal Tap. No drugs, hassles or egos. It's all about having fun, playing good music, drinking for free and getting paid a few bucks.

Biography
I'm an amateur guitarist (electric and acoustic) most interested in jazz music. I consider myself an intermediate level player in that I can make my way through a variety of standards, blues, rhythm changes, (Real Book kind of stuff), etc., but don't play out. My playing is most influenced by traditional, straight ahead jazz artists (Bird, Davis, Monk, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, etc., etc.), but I also enjoy more modern styles (though not necessarily on top of playing them). Really just looking for other musicians (any instrument) with an interest in jazz, who might be interested in getting together to jam.

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
No longer so new transplant to Madison. Member of The Dorothy Heralds who have recently released their second full length CD. I'm writing and arranging music for an album of string quartets (two violins, guitar, and cello) and an electric trio currently. I co-wrote and produced the music for the now defunct Madison Childrens' Theater production of Stuart Little. I am also an instructor at Good-N-Loud here in Madison.
I've also been programming Max/MSP effects and instruments. I'm hoping to put together a laptop duo or group for live performance/improv and recording in the future. Also, I'm putting together a improvisational trio/quartet to record and play a few gigs. (Hoping to tap into that undeveloped indie-noise-improv market here in Madison, haha)
My major influences include: Bill Frisell, Jeff Beck, Marc Ribot, Andy Summers, Wayne Bennett, John Coltrane, Steve Reich, John Cage, The Stooges, Elvis Costello, Squarepusher, Tom Waits and sound in general.
I've been playing in bands for 10+ years. Everything from Rock to Metal to R&B to Jazz to Weirdouttherepseudoelectronicambientdrumnbass.

Biography
I'm getting old (41), and before time runs out, or before I feel like I can't rock anymore, I want to get out and gig. I have been playing guitar since I was 12, and have been out of the band scene since high school. A guitarist/lyricist friend, a singer/guitar player are looking for a drummer and bass player. Looking for someone who you can count on, period. We're easy to get along with, and enjoy collaboration, though we have a vision for the sound. If you want to get out and play and make music for someone other than yourself, then talk to us.

Biography
I'm a 20-year-old, Madison area bass player. I've been playing bass for almost five years now. I'm a pretty capable bassist, and a pretty competent rhythm guitarist as well. I've been playing in groups for four years, and have a good amount of experiance playing and booking live shows.
I'm very well versed in playing traditional ska music, and am a pretty capable reggae or punk bass player as well, although I don't have as much experiance playing in groups of either of those genres.
I'm also interested in rockabilly, swing music, funk, soul and really just about anything that isn't metal or 'emo', but again have very little real playing experiance in any of those genres.
I've been playing in bands for about five years now, and am currently playing local goof-pop band, Strange Talking Animals. We have a webpage, I think.. but I don't know what it is.

Biography
My name is Danny, I'm 19 and can play many different styles of guitar. I get along easily with others, and am constantly writing new material. I have a thorough understanding of music theory, and I am open minded for the direction of playing style a band/individual wants to pursue.
Some of my favorite bands are Alter Bridge, Submersed, Pride & Glory, Metallica, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Killswitch Engage. I'm into blues, metal, rock, bluegrass, you name it I'll probably like it. (I want to pursue something heavy with singing/melody vocals not scream/hardcore vocals.)
As far as technical ability I have yet to come across material that I haven't been able to play. I do like to shred (sweeps, speed picking, tapping, etc) but only if it serves the song and has a melody and purpose (not senseless scale patterns). My first priority when writing the songs is the melody. I have good gear, don't smoke/drink, and a am a hard worker. I'm looking for individuals who share the same qualities
Weather you're an established band or just looking to start something up give me an e-mail and we'll see what
we can do.
(side note: I can also play piano, and do some backing vocals if needed).

I'm an ex-drummer of Knuckel Drager ('02-'05). I am currently in Big Blue. I prefer to play an angular, swerving, dynamic and riveting style. Jazz-oriented.

Biography
Hey my name is Sam. I've been playing Guitar/Keyboard for 5 years. I've been singing ever since I can remember. I am also professionally trained in the voice. I have a small studio of my Own. I play all sorts of genres. I record Metal.... Ballads... Death Metal... Some bands I enjoy are Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Tarot, Norther, Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir.. I have a very large range with my voice, and can scream/growl properly without hurting myself. You can hear some of my music here, ursession.com/kalavedet ......... I have 6 guitars and am well trained in that area as well :)

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!
