Guitarist seeks singer and/or instrumentalist (Haarlem)
Hallo! I am new to the Netherlands and looking for someone to do duets with so we can play out around North Holland and earn some money. Coffee shops (both kinds), bars, markets (busking), corporate events, business or birthday parties, weddings... Any venue or occasion that will pay a little or a lot.
I am hoping to meet:
- a singer who also plays an instrument
OR
- a singer
OR
- an instrumentalist, piano or guitar ideal
I'm not really a singer but I sing well enough to carry a song by myself (see YouTube link below). However, I would prefer to have a strong singer doing most of the leads while I accompany and harmonize.
Ideally, a female singer, but I'm open to male singers, with a versatile range and interest (pop, RnB, rock, American oldies, jazz standards). It would be GREAT if you also play an instrument. Any instrument would be fine; guitar, piano or bass would be extra fine.
Alternatively, if you play guitar, piano or bass and DON'T sing, there's also a possibility that we can put something together. But please be able to play well.
I have many years of experience performing duet and solo gigs with the genres of music mentioned above and I am open to playing almost any style, as long as it is something people would actually want to hear in a live music or background setting.
I compose and record my own music as well and would be open to sneaking in appropriate originals if you have any, but people usually want to hear songs they already know, so this is mostly for cover material. You can hear some of my original recordings at

is more the kind of thing I'm looking for.
Please be able to sing in key. No out-of-tune crooners need apply. If you have recordings or videos of you singing or playing, please send them.
I speak English and Spanish fluently, and a little bit of Greek, German, French, Portuguese and Dutch.
