I want to join a band, or start one, but not sure how to meet people?

Question

I play guitar, bass, drums, and I can sing.. so I'm pretty flexible. It's been a hobby for years. But now I want to create a band, or join an existing one. I don't have any friends that play instruments. Any ideas on how I can get this started? Thanks.

Oh, and I'm 20 years old, living in Michigan.. if that helps.

Answer 1

Go to Craig's list and find the gigs listing or musicians listing and post what you have here. You will get emails for sure.

To weed crazy people out (ha!) see if they have myspace or something.

Put out a flyer on a college campus. They're riddled with creative kids wanting to be in bands.

This should get you started.

Answer 2

you could try going to bars that have bands and  meet people or in studios try to find sessionists and maybe you could make friends with them and ask them to form a band with you
