Session Musicians Wanted - Akron, OH - contact email garyjackson@garyjacksonmusic.com
I am looking for some bluegrass/folk oriented musicians to help finish my CD. Fiddle, Mandolin, Dobro mostly string. I am sure I could use some help with vocals as well. The music isn't really bluegrass it is more folk/pop oriented. However I am looking fro a bluegrass feel. The songs are ready to go, but as always I love other musicians suggestions and ideas. Each new layer changes the song a little. I have demos available on the internet for folks to listen to, and if they are interested in adding to the music we can talk further. I live in the Akron area, Doylestown.
An example demo can be heard here www.basic-computer.com/find_my_exit.htm
