Ok - so I've been working with some fine, talented gents on putting together a new band project... Basically a roots-rock, americana, alt-country... whatever you want to call it type band. Basically, more twang than bang - but good dynamics and plenty of energy when needed. Not exactly the bread & butter of the shizz crowd, but no harm in asking I guess.

Have a singer/songwriter/guitar guy (me), a very talented guitarist (country/alt-country background), and great bassist (punk to alt country background). Just looking for a drummer to build this with us. About 15 songs ready or nearly-ready. No real name for the project by considering 'the eighteen watts' or some variant thereof (referencing the old Marshall amp model). All knowledgeable gearheads, experienced players, age 25-35.

But think Lucero, Uncle Tupelo, Two Cow Garage... some older Wilco, Son Volt, Whiskeytown, etc.

Help! any ideas, leads?

(and yes, this is a side project from my other band some of you are familiar with)

if only I played drums

Good drummers with time on their hands are so hard to come by.

Last I saw Chris Kennedy he mentioned he wanted to play in a country-ish band (kinda ala rum tenor). He might be up for something like this.

Thanks guys :-)

I don't know Chris - any chance you'd be able to point him to that CL ad, see if it's close enough to what he's looking for?

My songwriting is a lot more focused/structured than Rum Tenor, and this may grade a bit more to rock at times... but there's definitely some overlap in terms of overall philosophy.
