Soulful, Gigging, Groovin' band looking for Drummer

Hi,

Our style is groove-rock, with lots of funk and dashes of Latin. The vocals are soulful with heartfelt lyrics and stories, and the bass, keys and guitar are energetic and melodic. We're looking to rock original tunes as well as improvise with a tight unit.

We are currently playing with several professional drummers, but are looking for a dedicated band member. Rehearsal is in a home studio in Felton. We gig from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco and up to Arcata.

Ideal drummer has a firm rock and funk foundation, with Latin and reggae feels down as well. Great groove, feel and tone are essential. Severely soulful backbeats, baby! A jazz sensibility is great, not just in the sense of swinging or playing standards, but an open approach to music and improvisation with a lot of listening, dynamics, and fun.

Please check out some sound clips and more info at www.davesteinbubhub.com/.

Drummers we dig are Billy Martin, Steve Gadd, Bill Kreutzman, the James Brown guys (Jabo Starks, Clyde Stubblefield), the Sting and Zappa guys (Vinnie Coliuata, Omar Hakim), John Molo, Scott Rager, Scott Amendola, the groove of Motown/Stax-Volt/Muscle Shoals, and of course the list goes on.

The plan is lots of live shows and some studio albums leading to High Sierra Music Festival 2006 (hopefully).

Cheers!
