I'm looking for a bass player and a soprano sax & flute player to perform 
in ONCE ON THIS ISLAND for a community production in Amherst NH (near Nashua) 
on April 16th, 17th and 18th.

ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is a recent Tony award-winning Broadway show.  (I think 
it just finished its run about a year ago.)  Set on a carribean island,
it's a story about a peasant girl who falls for a rich boy, etc...  The
music is beautiful, fun, and interesting -- often in an islandy/calypso style.  
It is scored for 2 keyboards, sax/flute, guitar, bass and percussion.

ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is this year's show for the annual fund raiser put on 
by the Amherst PTA.  Talented people from Amherst and surrounding communities 
crawl out of the woodwork and donate their time for a fun, yet well-done,
production.  This year's show will be performed in the new auditorium at the
new Souhegan High School.

     I'm looking for a drummer and a bass player who's willing to work 
with me on my originals.   
     I've gotten VERY GOOD audience feedback everywhere that I've played
out.  So, I've decided to add some color to my music.  ( drums + bass )
Do some rehearsing, get the material recorded in a local studio. And
who knows, maybe some gigs. I also, plan to push to get it on the radio.

    My style falls somewhere between soft-rock/folk and hard-rock. 
So I'm in the middle somewhere !       

      I live in Derry NH.

    "Nick Adventure", but we all have real jobs now. :>

Are you interested in having fun, meeting people, and using your singing 
talents?

The Assabet Valley Mastersingers, directed by Robert Eaton, *welcomes new 
members!* 

The first rehearsal for the November performance of "Poulenc and Vivaldi 
Glorias" is Monday Sept. 13 at 7:30 pm, at the Algonquin Regional High School
on Bartlett St. in Northboro, MA.

    I'm a guitarist/vocalist with 15yrs. professional experience (I'm 30)
    that has been involved in a MIDI duo situation for the last 5 years. 
    Sequencing songs has becoming very tiresome, and I'm in need of a
    change. I have excellent equipment (complete PA, 8-track recording,
    etc.) and play electric and acoustic guitar...could play bass also if
    necessary. I would only consider leaving my current situation, however, 
    for a band that is earning decent money, and is gigging regularly
    (though not necessarily every weekend).

   The Jazz Artist Group is a musical group that has the following vision:

   - Make music
   - Play in a forum open to original (sometimes unique) compositions
   - Play improvisational music
   - Play some gigs
   - Have fun!

   The goal is to have 8-10 players; this is a good size because it is 
   flexible enough for improvisation, yet, there are enough instruments
   to do some unique arrangements.

   So far, we have been mainly playing tunes out the Real Book and Jamey
   Aebersold.  In addition, we would like to do some tunes written by
   members of the band (we have played a couple tunes that I wrote).

   Up until this week, we were a septet: trumpet, tenor, alto, trombone,
   guitar, bass and drums.  However, our drummer and bass player recently
   resigned due to family matters.

   So, we are in search of a drummer and a bass player.  For a bass player
   it is helpful to either be familiar with the jazz idiom or be able to 
   read changes.  For the drummer, it would be helpful if you are familiar
   with jazz (not really any music reading).  However, all that we really
   require is that you have a genuine interest in playing the music.

   We would also like to add a piano, a low brass player (bone or tuba),
   an upper brass player (trumpet or french horn), and perhaps >ANY< other 
   miscellaneous instrument (any bassoon players out there interested?).
   Again, we're looking for someone interested in playing the music!

   One other thought...  We are the Jazz Artist Group.  If you are a jazz 
   composer and would like to share some of your music with this group, 
   let me know.

   We rehearse in Nashua, NH, so if you live in Atlanta, I think it might be
   too far to commute :-).

   If you are interested, send me mail at REFINE::WEBER.

Hope to hear from you!
Adam

    
    We practice every Wednesday at 7:00 in the PKO3 plant in Maynard, and
    we play gigs every now and then (for DEC events, charities, whatever). 
    This is an informal group with a wide range of abilities, from former 
    pros to real hackers.  We play music we like, mostly big band music
    from the 50's and 60's, so we can have a good time.  The band is run
    as sort of semi-organized anarchy. 

    If you haven't played in a while, that's fine.  Just dust off the horn,
    and send mail to the director, John Kaufmann at AKOCOA::Kaufmann, or
    me, and show up some time.

	The Swanky Moes seek a veteran bass player experienced in
various blues and r&b forms.  We gig 5-10 times/month in the eastern
Mass and southern New Hampshire area.  We play a tightly arranged
style of blues, r&b, and a scattering of other stuff and are composed
of guitar, bass, drums, hammond organ, and sax with two lead
vocalists.  

	This is a fun band that works regularly and we don't believe
that music and stress mix.  Everybody is very experienced, has a
professional attitude and conflict is virtually non-existant.  We have
enough work to keep us tight and usually rehearse only to learn new
material.  Rehearsal frequency averages about once a month and never
more than once a week.  We all have day jobs we plan to keep.

	The player we're looking for is well seasoned, feels
comfortable with a variety of blues and R&B styles, and has his/her
own gear and transportation.  Vocal ability is always a plus, but not
neccesary.  This person should be serious about the quality of their
playing and have the desire to excel, but enjoyment is also a priority
in this band.  We aren't trying to "make it" and if you are you'd probably
do better elsewhere.

	If you or anyone you know is interested please get in touch.

    experience with blues tunes and can sing too. Our ensemble consists of
    a guitar, bass, harp, and drums. We all enjoy playing and gigging and 
    generally having a good time with the blues (oh yeh, getting paid is
    nice too).  
    
    If you're interested in an audition, please send mail to
    DELNI::WOODBURN or call me at DTN: 226-6225. 

There seems to be a growing abundance of gigging opportunities in the New 
Country Music circuit.  I frequently meet musicians that are in search of 
members for their bands and with the exception of one or two musician friends, 
that I know of, who are looking for gigs, I really don't have as many names 
and numbers of folks that might be actively seeking a gig.

So, what to do?

If you want, I'd be more than happy to take your name, address and phone 
number and pass it along to prospecting bands.  The rest will, of course, be 
up to you.

So many gigs - so little time!

Here's three opportunities that came my way just this last weekend:

	New Country Group forming in Westford, MA - looking for a bass player
	to round out the lineup. They got a steady gig at a club in Dracut as 
	the house band every Sunday. The guitar player is the club manager. 
	How convenient!

	New Country Group - Ivy Kat - needs a bass player. Lead 
  	vocalist/keyboardist is a bigwig in the MCMAA. So getting gigs is 
	not a problem.  

	New Country Group - Dani Balsam Band - needs a drummer and bass 
	player. This woman has a fabulous voice and is very very enjoyable 
	to work with. 

	There's more - but this might give you some food for thought.  

	So if you're interested in having your name dropped when these 
	opportunities pop up, just drop me your name, address and phone 
	number.

	Thanx .... Dan

	

    Re. last
    
    I'll second that comment about Dani Balsam.  I've filled in on bass
    a few times with her and had a splendid time.  Alas, I'm too busy in
    my current band to change right now...

    Hi,
    
    I'm entering this note for a friend in Merrimack personnel.  He's
    looking for a musician or musicians to provide some nice background
    music for Digital's Martin Luther King Day celebration to be held at
    MKO2 on Jan 14th.  He's looking for something fairly mellow, possibly
    acoustic or ethnic in nature, but I'm sure he would be open to any
    suggestions.
    
    If you, or someone you know, would be interested in participating,
    please contact Bob Maldonis at DTN: 264-4923 (or ALL-IN-1 Bob
    Maldonis@MKO).

	Keyboard Player Wanted
	----------------------

Our band is looking for a new keyboard player. Vocal ability is
a plus but not require. We do a mix of classic rock, blues and R&B.
We normally practice one night per week,  and  we're  looking to
gig one or two times per month. We have a PA for vocals and practice
space at my house in Marlboro (no rent).

Our current line-up is:

	Rhythm Guitar/Vocalist
	Lead Guitar/Vocalist
	Bass
	Drums

We are all involved in this musical project more for enjoyment
than money, and we are not trying to 'make it' as pro musicians,
but we are also committed to putting in the effort to develop a
very good, tight sound.

If you are interested or know of some one who may be interested
please, I will give you more details about the band. You should
have your own equipment and transportation.

Playing along to records is fun, but I want to get together and jam! 
I'm 42 years old, play acoustic bass and can sing baritone/bass harmony. I 
like most types of music including folk, bluegrass, blues, and rock and roll.

If you would like to get together for some informal music-making in the
Hudson, Mass area, please send mail or give me a call.

Thanks,

    Looking for a bass player for that world tour you've scheduled?
    Ever wonder what you'd sound like with a bass backup?
    Did your present bassist get lost on the way to the men's room?

    Give me a call!

    I'm always looking for people to play with.  I've played rock, folk,
    blues, country, cocktail jazz and several styles I can't describe.  
    In other words, I'm flexible.  I mostly play electric, but could dust 
    off my double bass in a pinch.  I live in Salem, NH, USA, and have 
    equipment, wheels, a (very) small PA and a good attitude.  I'm not 
    really looking for a band that will gig regularly, more for a regular 
    jam or occasional gig.

    Or put me on your band's mailing list (North American bands only,
    please).  I may come to one of your gigs.

    Or, just tuck my name away for future reference.  You never know when
    you'll need those low frequencies.

    Goal is to have a low-key band to make some $$.  Not looking for the
    big record deal, just play some local gin-mills for profit a few times
    a month.  
    
    Vocal helpful but not essential. Knowledge of various blue styles and
    an easy-going attitude are a must.  We have practice space, PA, etc.

 Looking for a guitarist or bassist to reform our band that just lost
the drummer (that sounds weird, but I have some possibilities there
already). We may lose the guitarist, for he may not be able to commit to 
a rental agreement 8^(. After having said that, one of our goals is to
have the band pay for itself by working. Vocals are not mandatory, but
if you have a decent voice nobody's going to hold you back!

 We are 98% original and are working to be a semi-alternative band (in
a melodic sense, not that slamming/noisey type stuff). We have just
finished six songs at a 16-track studio in Providence RI, and plan to
target that area initially for gigs and record there again. We are
prone to playing anywhere/everywhere we can.

 The basic arrangement would be 3 or 4 piece with our singer playing
some keys here and there (he plays a Roland Axis, that guitar-shaped
thing that has weird black&white levers on it %^). The best location for
rehearsals is central MA, say Worcester, as we live south and west of
this city. This is a workable issue tho.

 I'm leaving out style on purpose, for I'm not sure how to classify the
latest stuff. But, whoever we hook up with will make it different anyway.
Basically, we have some ideas and the group makes it happen. Our goals
are to have FUN and be focused, playing consistently even when a fellow
band-mate body-slams you because you were staring at the ceiling for too
long (we like to mix it up a bit and keep it moving %^).

I'll be off the Digital network next week, please use my home number
below after October 1st. Feel free to pass this on to anyone who might
be interested (musically, that is, no more food-service references %^).

    With my transfer to Quantum looming <1 week in the future and my NOTES
    access about to succumb to that cold, sharp, "Snip!", it occurred to me
    that now would be a good time to get around to announcing my
    availability for gigs.
    
    I've been around the traditional fiddle-type circuits of Celtic,
    country, and folk for several years, but favor playing blues and swing 
    styles(2 heros are Sugarcane Harris and Joe Venuti).  I double on 
    mandolin, guitar, and backup/relief vocals, and am currently playing 
    side-man or sub with a variety of acts.  My gear is set up for a 
    "natural" acoustic sound, but can scream or cry when needed.  Although 
    I have an amplifier I prefer to go direct to PA.  Available for single 
    and repeat gigs.

KEYBOARDIST/SINGER WANTED FOR ROCK/CLASSIC ROCK/R&B BAND.

We're getting back together after a couple of years vacation...

We're looking for a talented keyboard player with a willingness to
commit to a team project with long term goals of continually evolving
and improving our sound.  Vocal ability, either lead or backup would 
be a valued asset. Good equipment and reliability are important.

Rehearsals are typically once a week in Westford, MA.  Gigs will all 
be local to Westford, within about an hour's drive.

We have a unique sound that gets positive audience response whenever 
we play clubs, functions or parties. The songlist has included
songs by Linda Ronstadt, Melissa Etheridge, Heart, Pat Benetar, 
Fleetwood Mac, Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole, Pretenders, Steve
Winwood, Robert Palmer, Beatles, Rascals, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, 
Dire Straits, Savoy Brown, Stones, Grateful Dead, Talking Heads, 
James Brown, Eddie Floyd, Blues Bros, Temptations, Isley Bros, Eagles,
Chuck Berry and others. We intend to try a variety of these old songs 
and add new ones as well.

The goal of this band is to play some good music and have fun.   We
plan to work gigs once or twice a month. We'll play clubs, parties,
picnics, and other functions if the gig fits the band. 

We don't have the rock star "look" and don't care if you do
or not.  We are all 30+.

The current lineup includes:  

	Female Lead Vocalist/Front person (Wait 'til you hear her!!!)
        Male lead vocalist/lead and rhythm guitarist
        lead guitarist/backing and lead vocals
        bassist/backing vocals
        drummer

    Guitarist.  To be considered, you must be a Beatles fanatic who has
    been playing the songs and waiting for this gig for as long as you can
    remember.  Outstanding vocals are mandatory -- the more you sound like
    McCartney, the better.  No, you don't have to play the bass
    left-handed.
    
    If you're interested or know somebody who is, send email or call
    508.473.8619.

    		I sound like LINDA McCartney - is that outstanding enough?

    	Only if the soundman decides to power up the channel for her
    	microphone.
    
    	Then she'd be VERY "outstanding".

	Versatile Keyboard player wanted
	================================
	Startup Rock band consisting of 2 guitars, bass, and drums seeking 
	keyboard player to complete the lineup.

	This is to be a fun band playing tunes we want to play that will
	also let the audience have a great time!  Just about any type of 
	music is up for grabs as long it's fun to play and party to.  The
	age range is on the youthful side of the 40's so feel free to
	assume what types of music we're not into.

	We're looking to be groove oriented band with a lot of dynamics
	and interplay.  We listen to and play off each other so you
	should be the type who will let a 4 minute song go 10 minutes
	if that's what feels right.

	Strict covers will be rare.  Anything past the signature riff
	is open game.  Over time, "our style" will come out.

	You should be all set in the equipment department and it would
	be a major plus if you also sing.  Practices (Chelmsford) have 
	been once a week and we'd like to be gig ready by Memorial Day.  
	We'd like to play out one or two weekends a month.  

	There are lots of laughs when we get together and that's the
	attitude we'd like to take to the stage.  

	So, if you're that person - reply to me at Piet::DesRochers.
	If you know someone, feel free to forward this on or let me
	know how to get in touch.  We want to find someone now!!

	Thanks - Tom
