What style of Music / Currently playing with a group?
Just curious about the style of music (rock, country, blues, christian, oldies, etc.) that is your main focus now. Also, are you currently playing with a group? This may make an interesting discussion.

im not in a band. which is sad. i used to be and we played raw ska. think ska but without horns. if given the choice now i would play something along the lines of heavy/ alternative rock or metal. think chevelle and mudvayne.

 

[TSanders]

I currently play in a Christian Rock band, and a Praise and Worship band. I also record when called and give lessons.

 

[Mobay45]

Far Cry is my original rock band. We play our own music which sounds like classic rock/southern rock. At one time or another, I have played country, jazz, pop, reggae, blues, alternative, metal etc. with bands.

 

[tkarter]

Doghollar is the band I play with. Southern Rock, Country and some blues. Maybe almost any cover that gets requested. With some rockabilly originals tossed in.

I currently play in what is described down here as a "party band" playing rock covers from today back to the 60's. Most of the tunes we cover are recent or current hits, with a sprinkling of great retro songs.

 

[Moondog]

I play in Worse Case Scenario, an original NJ/NYC rock band.

 

[boba fett]

i play in Redrum, an original montreal punk/hardcore outfit.

Did you know that Redrum is murder spelled backwards?!?!?!

 

[JB1]

Red Rum was the name of this country's most famous racehorse...

I'm in Visitor, follow the link in my sig.

I also dig Ska (although my sound doesn't belie it), and would love to play in a Ska/Reggae band, but White Reggae don't do so good.....

 

[Mobay45]

White Reggae don't do so good.....

Amen brother. I would love to have the opportunity to play more reggae, but about the only time I get to play is when I'm in the Carribean on vacation and can convince the house band to let me sit in.

 

[armybass]

I play bass in a one country band, a rock band and upright in a jazz trio. I also play guitar in another country band and I just got out of the US Army as a bass player where I played everything....with a stingray too .

 

[Morrow]

Mostly blues and roots....playing "light" jazz on the upright tonight...sometimes a little bluegrass
I regularly play in a blues trio wth band Roger Howse band.We cover a lot of ground. I also play with Andrew Gillis and the Sho' Nuffs and we do a range of trad blues grooves ( nice harp driven band -electric and upright for me).Every Sunday night I play in the Bearly's Sunday night Jam band...we host an open mike. Players from different bands make up that one - it can be a lot of fun.Every once in a while I get to do a bluegrass gig on the upright.There are a couple of lineups that I do that just do accasional gigs and I sub for some other friends. I only play here in town now as a rule -I gave up the travel years ago. I have been in the blues and roots scene here for a long time and have been fortunate to play with some truly wonderfull musicians.I am thankfull the phone still rings.

I primarily play in my church's English Ministry praise team. We play hymnals and praise songs, but nothing too energetic (our EM is a very lethargic bunch so happy, fast-paced, energetic songs are almost like taboo ). I also play in a Christian rock band called Six Steps that rarely meets, whose choice of songs are a bit more lively so it's a welcome change.

 

[kilgore777]

I am in a Pittsburgh band that plays all originals- a thankless and payless job, here! (but I ain't complainin')

We are influenced by a lot of underground 80s and 90s music, on the European side (early 4AD, the Cocteau Twins, Lush, early Cure to name a few).

 

[TheDirtyMoocher]

i'm not in a band but i have two ska/reggae bands kind of lined up, one is like opivyish and the other is more like reggae dub i think...the second might try to incorporate a standup and an electic bass at the same time

 

[tkarter]

Electric and upright together. Shades of Brian Wilson in that. I bet that will rock.

[midopa]

And Christian McBride!

 

[spectorbassguy]

Worship Team and a few offshoots of it:
Contemporary Praise & Worship
Black Gospel
Christian Rock
