Keyboardist/Bandleader building a funk-fusion band – seeking serious collaborators

Englewood, United States

Daniel's Groovecard

Keys player and composer based in Englewood, NJ. Building a progressive funk/jam-fusion band that hits hard, grooves harder, and isn’t afraid to get weird.

This is NOT a jam band that aimlessly noodles Mixolydian scales over a funky vamp for 9 minutes. This is a project for players who want to write tight, melodic, challenging shit—and then rip it open live with improv and chemistry.

I’m writing tunes and have tons of seeds already. The vibe is heavy, funky, heady, and open. The goal is to build a tight, expressive live band that grooves with intention, stretches compositions to the edge, and creates something greater than the sum of its parts.

Looking for serious guitar, bass, and drums players who:

  • Have deep pocket and feel

  • Can balance discipline with chaos

  • Aren’t afraid of chromaticism, big riffs, or getting a little psychedelic

Influences include: Dopapod, Lettuce, Medeski Martin & Wood, Snarky Puppy, John Scofield, Yes, and more. If you’re into groove, fusion, prog, psych, hip hop, and experimental sounds—it’ll click.

This is for players with feel, vision, and commitment. The goal is to gig, record, evolve, and make this something real. If you’ve got the ears, the chops, and the mindset, let’s talk.
