I'm 38 year old male in Point Cook looking for another singer/guitar player to form a duo focused on songs with emphasis on the singing, harmonies and guitar parts for two.
I've included some links as examples of what I have in mind to give an idea:
The Grapes (Sherry Rich and Ash Naylor)

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO6SkStmhGY
Debra Conway and Willy Zygier

Paul Kelly

Finns (Finn Brothers, Split Enz)

Crowded House

Everly Brothers

I'm thinking duo at first to keep it simple initially, and then grow from there. But if you're a bass player or drummer interested, feel free to make contact if this appeals. (I'm not strictly limiting to a duo)
If you have originals, I would love to work on that as well.
Other music I love and envision we would cover:
Beatles, Tom Petty, Abbey May, Bic Runga, Sheryl Crow, Wilco, Powderfinger, Smashing Pumpkins, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Patsy Klein, Brenda Lee, Albert King,50s/60s , You Am I, AC/DC, Led Zep, Go Betweens, Sleepy Jackson... too much to list.
I'm no virtuoso on the guitar. I can play competently and solo enough to keep it interesting.
I have proper quality equipment.
I have experience playing with other bands, nothing too extensive.
Happy to get together 1 - 2 times a week.
Would like to keep it low pressure/not complicated - but aim would be to gig eventually when ready.
Hit me up with a PM if any of this sounds like you.
