Attitude
I am mostly looking for collaborators to continue down the indie rock path. I have several solo songs out on streaming platforms (under my name - Drew Stiver). I recently relocated back to the west coast after being in NYC for a few years, so right now I virtually have no music network here. I’d like to keep writing and releasing songs, and if it arrives at this point, definitely play some select shows (but not looking to perform every week for sure). I have no ego about my music so if the right move is to form a band/collective not under my name I’m totally cool with that. I also don’t insist on creative control unless I have some specific vision for something I’m working on. I’m open to suggestions. I have no kids and live in LA, so time and access are good. I do have a career so daytime during the week without notice is usually a no-go at this point.
