Howdy folks, I'm new here; not sure if I chose the right place to put this, but couldn't find anywhere better. So, here 'tis...
I'm a Monroe-style bluegrass mandolin player who just moved to Sterrebeek, Belgium (Brussels area) with my father (an excellent classical violinist who is trying to become a fiddler) and brother (an intermediate banjo picker). We are here for my father's work and would like to form a band. We need a rhythm guitar player, upright bass player, and possibly another fiddle. This endeavour will be mostly for fun (queue joke about the salary of bluegrass musicians) ,but I do want to be able to put on a good show. Any money we do make will be shared equally, with a possible cut to fund band necessities (e.g. Microphone).
I would appreciate any responses, I know the Mandolin Cafe is perhaps not the best place to find players of other instruments, but it seems to be a very functional and effective hub for acoustic musicians in general. Any info about bluegrass in Belgium would also be helpful.
-Thanks!
