    Currently starting up a band. I have some of my solo recordings up online though:

    Guess I'd describe my style/taste as alternative indie. I like a lot of alternative rock, rock, indie, acoustic stuff. Think me favourite artist at the mo is Jeff Buckley. Other musicians I like are: Elliott Smith, Elbow, U2, Deftones, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins and loads inbetween.

    Hi I'm Jacque also known as AnnaBee. I"ve been in several bands, left my largest followed band in 97, went into acoustic duo's and played acoustic solo off and on for 10 years. Now getting back into playing and getting my nerve up to go play open mikes as an old lady. I'd like to feel more comfortable in my skin. I'm also a cardiology nurse, who deals with the effects of poor choices every day. Food, alcohol, drugs, and stress, all can break your heart- literally as well as figuratively. I'm trying to get into shape to be an inspiration for all those who I care for. My genre is folk, but i also invented my brand of folk inspired blues- i call it floozie. :) I think I'm very funny. That wears on my colleagues I assure you. Peace to all of you. As Marketa Irglova once said- "Fair play to those who dare to dream." "Satisfaction is doing something that didn't come easy, or fast, but came because you worked at it every day"- me

    I'm a mezzo-soprano with classical training. I've had offers here and there to join bands, but I usually stick to musical theater. I'm looking to branch out with a project similar to Black Tape for a Blue Girl. Lush music and dark, evocative storytelling.

    I'm a drummer and I've been in three bands. None ever made it out of my basement due to irreconcilable differences :laugh:

    I was briefly in a band called Groove Elementz that played a couple clubs in Dallas in 2005, but we were awful. And the drummer never liked me. Mostly it's just been me and a guitar. Purely a hobbyist. I used to get a little bit of money (didn't even cover gas) for playing at a coffee shop with my bass player from GE, so I only have home recordings (except one song) and it is all pretty awkward music in general, but I enjoy playing/writing. I haven't written much in the last few years. Half Life on my soundcloud is the most recent, which I did at the end of 2012.

    Here's my SoundCloud. https://soundcloud.com/mavila1978

    The two electronic tracks a guy in Dallas that I know made them, and in the songs where there's a guitar, that's me except for where you hear two guitars, and the second one is a guy I worked with back in 2000 (which is also when I recorded them). The only one not in English is a crappy cover that one of my friends asked for. The rest are mine.

    Hey Amanda Diamond -- I used to be in a band about 40 years ago (!!) -- but since I found my spiritual path, I have recorded 9 CDs (two of them doubles), with other people who are wonderful (Broadway, folk, cabaret etc) singing with me, of my original inspirational non-denominational music -- applies to anyone who believes in a Higher Power. In other words the songs say God and Spirit but not Jesus. People from many religious backgrounds seem to love many of my songs. Would you like to hear them?

    Have been performing solo since 2000. Have been working on putting a band together for just over 2 years. Yes, I said 2 years. Problem is, we get someone that wants to play. Then, they decide they don't like the music or they move or have another excuse. Just recently found a great drummer and rhythm guitar player. Things are looking up.

    We are a cover band, focusing on 80's - 90's country with some classic rock thrown in (NO ... we are not doing Picture or Sweet Home Alabama). Every band does those songs. We are going for songs that were popular, but maybe not #1 hits. They are great dance tunes and will get people on their feet.

    I have a page on FB for just me .... www.facebook.com/paulastevensmusic. Once things are set with the band, will make a FB page.
