Looking to put together a band of musicians to cover the music I grew up on (Yes, Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd, etc.)
I'm a drummer with a modest rehearsal space with 8 channels of PA. I'm looking for musicians who like myself, have been playing out in genres that aren't necessarily their favorite just to get the gigs (classic rock, dance music, jazz) but in their hearts are prog heads.
It would be heavy on rehearsal and light on gigging I suspect. The business model, if it ever gets to that stage would likely involve renting venues and then selling tickets as I don't suspect this type of music would be a big draw at your typical dive bar. Tribute bands (Total Mass Retain, Brit Floyd, Musical Box, The Genesis Show, etc.) come into town regularly and sell out pretty big venues (Benedum, Palace Theater, Carnegie of Homestead, etc.) So there is definitely an untapped demand for this kind of music in the area. The trick is making these people aware of it. I would assume the burden of that if the project ever got to that stage.
Contact me if you might be interested. I look forward to meeting other people who love this music.
Here is a Spotify set list to give an idea of the kind of stuff I'm thinking of : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/58bNsIlD9Q99UIKftbUpU0?si=a01c430cd4b240e6
