I've tried cragislist but that's mainly rock/punk/new wave teenagers. What's a singer to do? I am tired of strumming by myself at the local coffee shop....and I'm also sick of being in a pop band where I'm expected to belt everything at the top of my lungs..... |

What instruments are you looking for, and what kind of music do you want to make, specifically (trad or singer/songwriter, bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, klezmer...)? Cheers, Michael |
