HI Brad, admin will delete your email address here when they get around to seeing it.
Your best bet, is to use the profiles, search by zip code or state.
Your title here says you are looking for a band; your profile says you're looking for a drummer and a frontman, but your 'seeking' section has everything possible - accordionist, clarinet, etc etc.
So clean up your profile, add some music. get your picture turned the right way up.

GMike gave you good advice. I've put together a couple situations that way.

Mark - I believe the Buffalo Springfield had something to say about that:

Haha - to me it shows someone not paying attention to what they're doing. I'd also suggest an 'action' picture - on stage playing, rather than a phone selfie.

I prefer to see a profile pic w someone sportin' some snazzy haberdash.... a snappy sport coat, necktie, and an acoustic instrument (the bigger ...the better).

(and for anyone who might actually miss the former pimple on our ass otherwise known as "Willie")

...i also appreciate and approve of profile pics of big busted nekkid ladies. :D

Yardbirds were certainly great but just never seemed to find a really hot guitar player. 8)
