Hey guys,

 

As some of you may know, I'm a solo pianist. But I've been interested in finding other musicians the past little while, to form a band. What's the best way to find a singer and/or guitarist, or other musicians really, in your local area? I've posted things on some music classifieds sites, but haven't gotten anything I'm interested in. Any suggestions?

I don´t know anything about anything but this is what I´m going to do

1. Record some demos of yourself of what you can do to show whoever you´re interested in.

2. Go to many local shows, get to know people and they can show you even more people that you´ll find interesting for your sound.

3. Once you get to know people and people know you well enough you should hand out those demos and maybe invite them for coffe or whatever to talk about it and then you´ll make your selection or maybe auditions on who you think would fit better.

 

Good luck!

Definitely go to local shows and just mingle with everyone there. I bet a lot of the audience will be musicians themselves.

Hang up a flyer/notice at some place a lot of musicians frequent saying who you are and what you're looking for. I found my band by responding to one at the music school.

Find a friend who also plays an instrument. If you want to be in a band, it's better to do it with friends.
