pro keyboard players looking for covers work - please read!

ok. this is long.. but im tired of misunderstandings and false starts. need to get clear!

im a musician. mainly guitarist. playing over 25yrs. gigging a good few of them aswell. ive got a good acoustic and electric sound and can play many styles, funk/rock/country... acoustic blues swing/ballads/folk
i also play keys, mandolin and a lil bit of harmonica
i have a good strong voice and can do harmonies too, even some lead vocal but dont consider myself a lead vocalist..

i also have a lot of experience in professional music production so i make quality backing tracks in a home studio. and i know a good bit about sample manipulation etc.. oh yes. and im INTO backing tracks and the freedom they bring. the beats you can create with them, the extra percussion/layering etc. when its done right, with proper sounds and samples it sounds great. sorry purists - but thats where im at.,.

NOW! im looking to setup a 2 piece for pub gigging. once that works out expand it a lilttle wth some additional well chosen members and eventually cover functions/weddings/xmas parties etc.

the style is funk/rock/soul from 60s 70s but also right up... from wilson pickett right thru to groove armada to justin goddam timberlake, the stones and the doors thru to red hot chilli peppers to the strokes and the killers. theres good stuff from all decades - and hold the goddam cheese please - theres no need for it. plenty of good stuff out there for everyone without the cheese...

So thats me. who im looking for then..

like i say i need to hook up with a pro keys player. when i say pro - i mean attitude, ability and equipment. i have a day job too .. the style is very much funky/rock/soul with vocal harmonies, also some good country stuff too with vocal harmonies. so mr/miss keys player. its got to be funky hammonds, clavs, rhodes, EPs, piano, wahs all of that. doesnt have to be a million notes a minute but has to have the sound, the feel.... and youve got to be at least comfortable with triggering some samples off the keyboard - simple stuff like that - or dig in deep and start creating them with me all the better (filtering, timestretch, syncing all of that - in fact if youre more into that than keys playing that'll work too )
if youve got a decent voice thats a major bonus.. if not but the rest fits, thats cool too we'll sort something out.

ok. enough! peace out.
