Yesterday I booked FOUR gigs at three different venues for a new duo I'm beginning w Sarah, the woman who sings, plays fiddle, gtr, and bass w me in MERE MORTALS Bluegrass Band.
I have a pretty good line of $hit and booked all these gigs w/o any promo video/audio...just my rap.
We'll be passing instruments back and forth between us and be playing a variety of music that includes 70's singer-songwriters, jazz, bluegrass, country, folk, western swing, and jazzgrass to name a few.
We're super stoked about this because we have this great "time hookup" and always agree on tempo and feel. This is NOT the case w our other bandmates so we're looking fwd to this new deal.
My great line of BS for booking gigs w no promo material aside...we do need to get some video and usable photos together since we also plan on going after the big buck wedding market playing classical repertoire too. (guess i WON'T be wearing a tank top and shorts for THAT promo stuff).
Since we have no video stuff yet, here's a full band lo-fi version of one of her tunes that she'd just introduced at prct. It's pretty good until the other guys start playing... their contributions will likely shed some light on why we're excited to be pursuing things as a duo!
