I have been playing metal most of my life.

I am a vocalist/guitarist looking to start a thrash/power metal band. I have a bassist, just need everything else, including a female backup vocalist
Rawley Heimer
Eastman School of Music trained jazz and classical guitarist, 23 years old, 15 years experience, currently working at MSU and receiving Master’s in Economics. Performed in jazz groups and solo jazz in NY and DC, and have led 2 stable and mildly successful rock groups in the past.
Prefer to start another rock band. Have a decent-sized original catalog that allows players the chance to be creative and add their own musical stamp to melodic, yet untraditional harmonies and rhythms. Influences: Mars Volta, Trail of Dead or any other Texas rock powerful enough to strike an existentialist fear into audiences, the heavier Radiohead tunes, Artic Monkeys, Talking Heads, Sigur Ros, The Roots. But I’m also more than happy to play some jazz, preferably the modal styles of Shorter and Trane—anything with a McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones backbone—or Mahavishnu, Scofield, avant Miles, and Wes.
Solid baritone, prefer backup vocals.
Get in touch.

Ph#: 406-920-1149 Send EmailChris McGary
I grew up in logging camps in Idaho. I decided at age 16 to become a composer and pursued a degree in music, graduating with a B.S.Ed in 1983. I also have a masters degree in education. While living in the Nashville Tennesse area I spent ten years teaching elementary music, perhaps learning more than I taught. I direct Montana’s Own Guitar Ensemble, a group of seven classical players. I direct the St James Episcopal Renewal Music Team, and have students playing guitar , mandolin, and piano. For the past ten years I have worked as an audio designer for gaming machines, commercials, and as an independant producer.
Ph#: 406-586-3290 Send EmailAnna McGary
Anna is a twenty year old student who attends the University of Montana in Missoula. She is majoring in pharmacy. The four songs on her eponymous titled CD, “Anna McGary”, were written during this past year and recorded here in Bozeman during sessions at Peak Recording and Sound. Gil Stober engineered the recording sessions. Brian Crumrine played percussion, and Eddie T. plays bass guitar on three of the four tracks.
Today it is fashionable to categorize music which doesn’t fit into pop, R&B, or Rock genres by calling it “alternative”. Anna McGary’s music consists of fresh and well crafted tunes with a memorable voice, delivered with impeccable diction. What a treat to be able to follow the storylines in a song upon first hearing! In “Seven Years”, a young woman finally emerges from the fog of a broken relationship. “Lights” is an uptempo rocker which informs of settling for the love at hand, which seems better than nothing:
“But the nights are cold and windy, and it feels so good to be / In your arms when the sun goes down, and in your arms to see… / The morning light…”
The raucous guitar solo presages some red hot live performances to come from this talented young player.
“A Simple Turn” has an insistent guitar line, but the driving bassline is played by Anna herself. A 30 year old country band bass player who hear the track for the first time remarked, “I’ve been playing bass for 15 years and I can’t sound like THAT!”
“Alright” could become a signature tune for this young virtuoso. The song is triadic, with a pair of verses in front of a “Blackbird-like” bridge that takes us to a third verse. The song virtually restarts, and Anna McGary reels in our hearts with an achingly lovely vocal tone.
Anna’s sound is musically mature and captures all moods of life. She is anxiously looking forward to completing her first full-length album this winter. Check her out and see show dates at www.myspace.com/annamcgary.
The Anna McGary CD is available at Hastings and Borders for $5.99.
