QR Code Link to This Post
I’m a sax player looking to join a rock band. Primary horn: baritone sax (also have alto).
Style: Funky–bluesy–rock, horn-friendly. Open-minded on specifics.
Influences: Supertramp, The Clash, Talking Heads, Sly & the Family Stone, Rolling Stones, Tower of Power, etc.
What I’m looking for:
- A fun, collaborative group that rehearses ~1x/week
- Prefer a band with (or building toward) a 3-piece horn section
- Gigs are optional; I’m more focused on making good music than pay/frequency
About me:
- Based in SW Portland
- Reliable, on time, easy to work with
- Background is mostly classical; played jazz band in college
- New to rock-band playing specifically, but coming in ready to learn and put in the work
- Interested in songwriting/arranging and happy to help with planning/logistics
- I also have rehearsal space if needed.
If you reply, please include: a link to your music (live or demo), typical rehearsal location/day, and what you’re aiming for (covers/originals, gig goals).
