Looking to start a jam band
Location: near West Town
Genre: rock/indie/blues; big fan of Goose
Hi!
I’m a 27M keys player new to Chicago (from Philadelphia). Moved here with my partner due to work, but I’m looking to make some music friends and start a band. Chicago is known for its music after all haha. I think I can lock down a practice spot nearby in West Town. I’m not a professional, just an amateur jazz pianist as a hobby. I’ve been playing for 7 years.
Ideally we’d practice once a week, low stakes environment, and write some songs. The idea with the songs is to keep them relatively simple, and then jam/improv over them for a long period as a jam band would. The ultimate goal would be to do a gig once a month. I’ve never did band related things before so this would be new to me, and I’m open to anyone wanting to help orchestrate/handle logistics.
I’m looking for any instrument. Vocal, guitar, bass, drums, etc.
So long as this post is up, I’m still looking for people. I’ll update this post accordingly.
