Hope this finds you well. I'm reaching out to find collaborators for recording, songwriting and live performance. Here's what I've got going on: I'm working on an album length independent recording project, "Ol' Ketchfish", slated for release in March 2020. Primarily original Blues/Americana/Rock songs - Electric and Acoustic tracks. Collaborators should have the ability to record and transmit a clean .wav file and feel they have something to bring to the table - harp, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, horns, keyboards, etc. Near zero budget so the deal will have to leverage future mechanicals. Obviously, you can't bake a cake without ingredients. I have some songs but need more for this release, it's follow-ups and just to add to the catalogue. Less specific on genre as it's more governed by the performance than the song in popular music. Co-writing credits and their associated royalties per US statute. Publishing rights and responsibilities subject to negotiation - let's make a deal. The ability to share discernable audio files and talent required, experience optional. Live Performance opportunities - US only. Following the release of "Ol' Ketchfish", I'll be doing some targeted mini-tours over the following three years. I'll be primarily hiring local talent to support the performances on 5 to 10 day outings within 100 mile geographically centered areas with 1 unpaid rehearsal, 4 to 10 paid performances and the possibility of some unpaid promotional local radio-tv-live streamed spots. Some group performance experience, your own instrument(s), amp, microphone/cable/stand and transportation required. Performances will be predominantly Community Events/Festivals, Livingroom Concerts, Small Outdoor Public and Private events and Small to Medium Venues. Agencies, full bands and individuals welcome to submit. Co-Billing considered. I don't do pay for play or "exposure" gigs. As I've told several venue managers, if I wanted to expose myself I'd drop my pants. Serious inquiries should contact me soonest. Again, recording and songwriting collaborators can be anywhere in the world. Live performance collaborators should be in the Continental United States - most urgently within 100 miles of the Atlantic Ocean as the initial outings will be on the East Coast. Let's make a deal - and some great music!
