    I play with other musicians but were more of a team than a band. We lead worship on Sunday mornings.

    In a band for me, just in case anyone was wondering the name of my band is...Jerzey Street Band - would you have guessed if I hadn't told you?

    I'm a solo basement dweller jamming to my favorite music mostly. About once every couple of weeks, some buddies come over and help me make noise.

    I'm in a cover band that gigs once every few weeks. I'm also in another band that does covers for now but we plan to start moving into originals, and we don't gig yet.

    I have a band and also jam with my dad often. I play with my friend Jimmy sometimes and we sort of have a band, but it's in the building stage and I don't really want to do it yet. Maybe if we find another guitarist I will, but now it isn't showing any promise.
    Otherwise, I mostly play by myself, just practicing.

    Being a pastor who is learning drumming, my opportunities are a bit more limited. Right now, I am content with playing in the comfort of my own home, but I look forward to the day when I get the opportunity to play well with others.

    I have given up looking for a band. Everyone I have played with smokes pot. I can't be around that anymore. So I just play for the fun of playing.

    Sadly had to enter "solo".
    Guitarist and I founded a band over twenty years ago. He went a bit wonky after his wife of 25 years ran off with their computer tech, went off to become a semi hermit.
    A shame, as he was amazing.
    Did a couple of auditions, but we didn't really click, so still looking.
    At least I can run music through the PA at band levels, I can live with that if I can figure out which neighbor is calling the cops complaining that Boston is rehearsing in my little studio (Had to explain to said cops that if they were, I wouldn't be living in this crappy house.

    How's that going late8? I remember that post you made when you left the band. I hope things get back tight again for you!

    Does playing with recorded bands count as "playing with a band"? If so, I play with a band, they just happen to be recorded.

    All joking aside, I play solo for now. I play with songs I have on i-tunes. I'm heavy into Dokken. I picked up on "Breakin The Chains" Sunday, and have gotten at least half of "Dream Warriors" down tonight. They are not exactly like the song but close enough for me. They need alittle polishing but I'm getting the idea on playing with others.

    I work with a variety group that plays mostly classic rock from the 60's to the 80's. We do mix in a few other more popular tunes from the last 20 years or so. We also do some country, some blues, and a few originals, and can play a couple hour of jazz standards too. We play minimum 4 times a week in clubs, casinos and some corporate stuff.

    I also do "sub" work with other groups if I'm free. But that's been rare as of late. I just came off a 120 day stretch of 5 nights a week (since September) and am glad to have my Wednesdays free for a little while. (Let's hope it lasts).

    Thanks TxDrummer, I needed to get back into a band situation but for the time being the band is playing a gig without me this week and from reports from the other members, the bass player ain't cutting it on drums so they need me back and I need to play so we're getting back together in my garage after a few weeks break.

    I gotta explain to them that nobody leaves a gig until we're done. I had to give $200 back to the promoter on my last gig with these guys since we had to quit early since a few left before our last set was done

    Thanks for asking Tx!
