Female bass player wanted in Grand Rapids Michigan

April 16th, 2012 by Rob

Female bass player wanted in Grand Rapids Michigan

*Who we are*: We are a new, all female bluegrass band called ‘Liza Jane’,
based in West Michigan. We are a group of friends and acquaintances with a
similar love of old time, bluegrass, gospel and blues music. We currently
have 4 members: Bobbie on banjo; Michelle on Fiddle and Mandolin; Karen on
Mandolin, and Julie on guitar.

*Our upcoming gigs*: We are booking for the festival season 2012, and have
comfirmed a gig at the Ionia fair (July), Fallfest bluegrass festival in
Lowell (September), and possibly a gig at the Ionia theater on May 6th,
tentatively. Other gigs are being formulated, but not set in stone until we
get our bass player up to speed.

*What we need*: We need an upright bass player. Females only will be
considered for the permanent position, but men may help out temporarily
until a female can be found. Electric bass players, please do not apply.
Upright, acoustic bass players only.
*How we practice*: We meet 2 to 4 times per month at a friend’s house in
Marne to practice. We are flexible enough with each others schedules to
understand when it’s difficult to get to practice. We consider ourselves a
‘fun’ band, not too serious. We all like to sing, and are willing to share
the mic with you.

*What you get*: 1/5 of all proceeds from paying gigs, and a great opportunity to strut your stuff!!

Songs we’re working on: Busted (Patty Loveless), Reuben (Earl Scruggs), Bill Cheatham in A (traditional), Riding on that midnight train, I’ve endured (Ola Belle Reed), When God dips his pen of love in my heart (Allison Krauss), Crossing the Cumberlands in Gm (Nashvlle Bluegrass Band), Back up and Push, Angelina Baker in D (Steven Foster), Sail away ladies/Sally Ann, Milk Cow blues, Make me a pallet on your floor, Seven Bridges road, Lonesome wind blues (Rhonda Vincent), Redwood Hills (country gentlemen), Country Blues (Dock Boggs), and others.

Seeking Banjo and Mandolin Players- Fort Wayne, In.

March 10th, 2012 by Rob

Fort Wayne area band, Recently lost our banjo and mandolin players and are hoping to replace them. We don’t presently have any bookings but would like to find replacements and get things going. Hoping to find individuals in the area as we all have day jobs. We’d like to be more active in doing festivals around the Tri-State area once we get a good tight group. Vocals of coarse would be a plus as great harmony can’t be beat.

At present the upright bass and myself ( guitar and lead vocals ) are here to stay. We have a fiddle player that sounds like he’s here for the long haul as well and he does some harmony work and has written a few songs. We like traditional as well as the new stuff and it would be great if we could do more originals. Looking for players that wanna put on a good show, be stewards of bluegrass music and enjoy having fun.

This can’t be about the money, lets face it, it’s bluegrass but it can and must be about the music. We all take equal share in the bands success and we all take pride in doing a great job putting on a show. This can’t be impossible and I’m just not ready to throw in the towel.

If your interested and wanna talk or know more call or write Mark Smith 260-637-5502 or mail me Here
