"NYC FOLK/COUNTRY BAND SEEKS BANJOIST/GUITARIST...for vocally-driven 
project which mixes several different genres of roots music 
(primarily looking for instrumentalist, singing is fine but not 
necessary).  We are well established in the Manhattan/Brooklyn area - 
playing out about once a month - and have just released our debut CD. 
Our departing member played banjo, mandolin and dobro; we are looking 
to replace him with someone who plays the banjo and some rhythm 
guitar.  We're a big fan of atmospheric banjo and/or avant garde 
banjo, though some of our songs undoubtedly might sound good with a 
little traditional banjo picking. You can see and hear us online at:  
www.bobtownmusic.com or myspace.com/bobtownmusic.  Give us a shout if 
you'd like more info or if you're interested in getting together to 
meet.  Thanks for your time!  Contact:  katherine.etzel@gmail.com"
