[] I am a keyboard player/singer/songwriter looking to form or join a band in or near Eatontown, New Jersey. My stylistic interests are varied, and, that being the case, I would like to be in a band that is willing to play more than one type of music. My primary interest is musical rather than financial, but I do not want this to be just a "jamming band." I do want to perform in public, perhaps once or twice a month. The players I would like to see might be as follows: Guitarist/singer/songwriter - plays acoustic and electric guitars equally well, lead as well as rhythm. Can handle both lead and backup vocals. Reads music, but also has a good ear and can lend original interpretation to cover material. Bassist - good technique and touch, at least backup vocals, original material desirable. Reads music, but also has a good ear and can lend original interpretation to cover material. Drummer - equally adept on set an other percussion instruments. Backup vocals desirable. Experience with electronic percussion and/or other instruments (e.g. guitars, keyboards, or novelty instruments) desirable, but not a must. My own assessment of my qualifications in those areas follows: Keyboardist/singer/songwriter - Experience with various acoustic and electric keyboards, including digital synthesizer which allows synthesis of most any keyboard or orchestral instrument. High tenor voice, experience with lead and backup vocals. Songwriting spans pop, new wave, country, blues, gospel, rock, and ballad. Read music, but have a good ear and arranging experience for rock bands, stage bands, and marching bands. Other factors: I don't really have a good rehearsal location. I'm willing to drive about a half an hour each way for a rehearsal. The descriptions above are more or less a wish list. Right now, I'd really like to do some playing.
