Just Joined a Band

[WildHearted]

I joined a band last night. Basically, one of the most popular local bands got Buckingham Nicksed. Their two front-people were a couple and they decided to move to Nashville as a duo and leave the others in the dust. The remaining members (3 people, a bassist/vocalist, drummer, and lead guitarist) wanted to keep gigging around town and we got hooked up through a friend so I'm going to be doing vocals / guitar / keys.

We'll be doing a lot of covers, simply because it's lucrative... gotta appeal to the bar crowd and all when you're playing in a town like this. Classic rock and folky kind of stuff (which is fine with me, since that's a lot of what I like). But I've got tons of originals written and they said they'd be down for incorporating some of those and fleshing them out with a full band. So that's exciting. I'm just happy to get to play at all.

We jammed a little bit when I met with them to figure out what songs we wanted to try to get under our belts first, and one of the ones we decided on was Rhiannon . I'm gonna do the main guitar part and the lead vocals for that, so I've been practicing all day. Here's a little snippet.



Anywho, just had to get my excitement out in the open in some fashion.
