Do You Cycle? Do You Play Dixieland Music? Want To Join A Cycling Dixieland Band?

Written by Boston Biker on Jan 04

In my internet travels I bumped into this fun website, announcing the formation of a cycling dixieland band. Go check it out for more details.

———-

Join the world’s first biking dixieland band!

I’m putting together a dixieland band on wheels! All I’ve got so far is myself and my ridiculous idea – so I’m looking for some solid musicians who are also keen cyclists.

We won’t play while riding, but we should be able to carry all of our kit on bikes so we can participate in group rides, parades, and community events. This will be easier for some than others, but I will be riding my Christiania cargo trike, with plenty of room for an amp and some other unwieldy equipment.

I anticipate that most of our summer performances will be at outdoor events relating to cycling in some way, but as we progress musically, we may also take on gigs without the bikes. I’d like to start rehearsing in February so we’re ready to go this Spring.

I’ve got trombone covered, but here are the other players I need:

* Trumpet
* Clarinet/tenor sax
* Guitar/banjo
* Bass/tuba
* Piano
* Drums
