“Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two

Guitar cases in Nashville/

And any one that unpacks his guitar could play

Twice as better than I will.”  -Nashville Cats by Lovin’ Spoonful

What do you play?

John Sebastian of the folk band, Lovin’ Spoonful may have wrote the song, “Nashville Cats,” but Earl Scruggs and Lester Flat did an amazing version of this song, too. A tune recorded over 40 years ago sure did speak worlds about how many people play guitar. So it got me to thinking, "How many people in Cleveland County play music?" I want to know how many musicians would consider themselves ‘on call’ for playing or recording music. Wouldn’t it be great to build a network of players, composers, and singers for our local area? There are bands that would love to know who the ‘on call’ saxophone player or trumpet player is for this area. Who is vocally ready to sing background vocals or even participate in a community choir for a weekend recording session? Are you a talented musician looking for a gig or a group of people who wish to start a project? Here is an example of talents that we need: singers (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), guitar (dobro, rhythm, lead, bass etc.), ALL orchestral instruments (violin, viola, cello, bass, woodwinds, brass, etc.), songwriters, and the list goes on! If you are interested in getting your name out as a musician or singer, send us an email or give a call. Let me know your specialty and preferences of music, and a little about your experience. You can contact justin@songharper.com or call 704-600-5138. So dust off your old high school band instrument from under your bed and get your chops together, WE HAVE MUSIC TO MAKE!
