Musicians Wanted
Boomer wants to play Grateful Dead style music . Guitarist/vocalist looking for relatively refined players to play with. I love rehearsing and performing. Diversity is good; age, gender, what’s important is good musical skills, sensitivity and good interpersonal skills. I’m looking to join or start a band. Of course I love Jerry and the acoustic work he did. My favorite time for the dead was in the 70’s when I lived in Berkeley and my friends and I would go over to Winterland to see the Grateful Dead or the Keystone to see Jerry & Merle Saunders
I live in Sebastopol, Sonoma County California. Santa Rosa, Windsor, Cotati and the West County area are my driving range. Maybe Petaluma or Healdsberg too.
If interested please use contact link below and set up a conversation time.
Currently I am principal guitar player for the Sebastopol Love Choir. For many years I had a band called Nine Mile Skid that rehearsed forever and did occasional local gigs. I have done a lot of performing as a guitar soloist, balladeer and with various duo’s and collaborations. I have started to sorely miss playing all those wonderful Grateful Dead and Jerry songs that I know and love, and would love to connect with some accomplished players to bring those songs and music to life. I am not a renderer, I like to play the songs and enjoy the improvisations that unfold from the taste and talents of each individual musician. I have a pretty clean lifestyle and I want to focus on the music, have fun and hopefully bring it to appreciative audiences.
Here is a list of some of the GD and Jerry songs i like to play. Of course there are many other Songs and artists i like too.
