I'm assembling a progressive Irish Quartet/Quintet (varying based on who/what I'm able to acquire) in the Bloomington/Nashville/Columbus area of Southern Indiana.
We currently have a lineup of young musicians in and around their twenties, including myself on Whistles and Uilleann Pipes, a Bodhran player, and a Celtic Harpist. We'd like to find a Bouzuki to fill out our sound and add rhythmic accompaniment (mostly), and occasionally picking melody to keep things fresh. Our music is almost exclusively instrumental.
We'll be working out a roughly weekly meetup schedule, either at my place in Nashville or in practice rooms in the IU music department in Bloomington, and will gradually fill out a complete setlist to premiere this fall, followed by various local gigs (not much extensive travel planned, for starters.) We already have a small-scale record deal in the works for purposes of recording/producing when that time comes.
Anywho, if you're interested, please let me know asap, either here or via email/PM, and I'll get some sheets your way. I'd prefer if you can read sheet music, but chord charts and/or tabs can be worked with as well.
Cheers!
