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 am relatively new to NYC after being on the west coast for about a decade so right now I virtually have no music network. 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 Manhattan, 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.
