It’s Not Irie Time for Me
Because it's a journal so not everything works out
After the CH rehearsal yesterday, I stopped in to see Scottie McDonald of Irie Time. They are looking for a permanent keyboard player. I did tell him that I'm not looking to join another band, and that I don't do other sounds besides the basics of piano, organ, and electric pianos (in other words, what's provided by the awesome Nord Electro). Still, he was very interested in hearing me play and seeing if I can do what they are looking for.
Even though he didn't say it outright, I don't think I quite made the cut. He's looking for a keyboard player that can solo in a very jazzy style, along with their "Tropical jazz / Reggae soca-calypso / Caribbean party music." While I felt that some of the stuff I played was pretty decent, I guess he was looking for more. Once he explained what it was, I kind of knew it was currently out of my league. I'd love to be able to play very jazzy solos, but I'm still working my way towards that. Still, he seemed interested in me and seemed to hope I could get there and work with them in the future.
