New Bands - they're just like busses!

[Mykesbass]

Having been musically inactive since lockdown (partly due to knowing I would be moving), I've got a try out with an Country/Americana originals band on Sunday, and now a mate at my new work has asked me if I would like to do some really interesting Blues. Why was the timing so bad, or can I fit both in 🤔

Well done. Of course you can. 😎

You can definitely fit both. I've been in multiple bands on saxes and bass. Rehearsals every night of the week! I was younger then. Now I grumble about having to rehearse in person and not on jamulus.

So long as both bands aren't expecting to be out gigging every Friday and Saturday night you should be fine.

I think the Americana band is aiming at being 'selective' in its gigging. Will have a better idea after I meet up with them on Sunday.

Early days, how many bands are still going two years after forming/re-forming. I'd be running with both, giviing them my all and enjoying the ride, it'll be a long ride before you get overwhelmed. If both bands are popular and successful well there are worse problems for a musician.

Do both - and good luck!

Made the call today to the guy from work - I'm going for both bands. Wish me luck!
