We are presently:
An experienced roots rhythm section (all of us have played big shows) consisting of drums, bass, rhythm guitar.
Also, a singer/songwriter with compelling original songs.
We have:
Multiple music studios and practice spaces and access to excellent gig opportunities.
We need:
First and foremost, folks that are 100% aligned with our mission to make music consistent with the classic roots that inspired us spiritually and to play music in the first place. We have all played in bands that do other things, but we feel that this energy is desperately needed in the present day world and are returning to the source.
Any singers and players who can compliment the above and understand the roots aesthetic of maintaining as much space as possible. You must be someone who can "iterate" (continually experimenting, finding parts, and the practicing and remembering those parts for further use). We don't need people to "skank" or "bubble" on the primary chords (because we already have that) but there will be room to do some of that if you want ...it just can't be your default in the end.
Team players who want to seamlessly blend into the meditation.
Drama free, well-intentioned individuals who bring good vibes. Due to the nature of the music we are making, we'd like to remain alcohol-free before and during the music making process. Certainly not opposed to a beer or two when the work is complete.
Big influences:
Sly and Robbie (especially Mykal Rose era Black Uhuru. I'd say that the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" album is the closest thing that we have to a pole star.)
The Roots Radics (and their projects like Israel Vibration and Singer and Players)
Bob Marley and The Wailers and all related things.
If any of this appeals to you, please feel free to reach out. Give thanks!
