Assemble a band made up of musicians who were born on your birthday

Cafe Society
21

Bun and Kenny will do you proud. Trust me.

22

Huh - Alanis Morisette and Ronnie Wood. Marilyn Monroe can sing “Happy Birthday” with them.

23

Let’s I’m sure I can put a band together with

Alicia Keys, singer
Dave Kilminster, guitarist
Dave Walker, guitarist
Gary Tibbs, bass player

Can’t find a drummer…

*I had Etta James until I realized she died in 2012.

24

November 24.

Scott Joplin: keyboards
Pete Best: drums
Donald Dunn: bass
Treacherous Cretin: chick magnet

25

Nov. 30th:

Billy Idol on vocals
Bob Moore on bass
Shuggie Otis on guitar
I can’t find any drummers born on that day, so we’ll make Roger Glover learn them.

26

October 1:

Julie Andrews, Donny Hathaway: vocals
Sergei Rachmaninoff: keyboard, composer
Vladimir Horowitz: keyboard
Eric Poncet: guitar
Paul Dukas: composer

27

They’re all drummers! That’s no fun.

28

Charlie Watts, drums
Marvin Hamlisch, piano
Michael Steele (Bangles), bass
Dez Cadena (Black Flag), guitar
Lydia Lunch, vocals
Marquis de Sade, director of recreational activities
…performing the compositions of Sir Edward Elgar

**NOTE: Dead people count!

Sorry, should have indicated this in the OP.

Revise your line-up if necessary.

Also, I’d like to add Yo Yo Honey Singh to my team.

(he is an Indian rapper. Not sure how good he raps, but he deserves to be up front based on nothing more than his name).
mmm

30

This is clearly the winner so far in my opinion.
mmm

31

Hey - I could use a drummer.

The March 1st’s:

  • Composers: Frederic Chopin (also on keys!), Glenn Miller
  • Singers: Roger Daltrey, Harry Belafonte, Justin Bieber, Kesha
  • There’s a bass player I have never heard of named Justin Hills.
  • Guitar: Me! :wink:
32

I don’t know much about the talents of my group, so I don’t know how good they’d be.

Tony Bennett
Lucky Dube
James Hetfield
Roscoe Mitchell
Ian Bairnson
Ms. Jade

March 17th

Vocals/Guitar: John Sebastian (of The Lovin’ Spoonful)
Vocals/Guitar: Gene Ween (of Ween)
Lead Guitar:…Scott Gorham (of Thin Lizzy)
Bass:…Gary Sinise (of The Lt. Dan Band)*
Drums:…Caroline Corr (of The Corrs - we’ve got a St. Patrick’s Day birthday, we’ve got to have some Irish in the band!)

*It made me chuckle that Wikipedia lists Gary Sinise as “American actor, director, and bass player”.

NB: Although Billy Corgan shares our birthday, he is not allowed in the band.

34

John Lee Hooker

No one else is needed.

35

This is a fun and funny thread!

The 5/31 Band consists of mostly vocalists, a drummer and a guitarist:
Corey Hart (HA!)
Peter Yarrow
D.M.C.
John Bonham
Johnny Paycheck

DYING to hear D.M.C. breaking down “Take This Job and Shove It”.

36

I was just going to do Barbra plus John Williams (the classical guitarist).

That’d be some purty music.

37

June 20th

Lionel Richie on piano and vocals
Choice of bassists: Michael Anthony, John Taylor or Alan Longmuir of the Bay City Rollers!
Guitar: Charlotte Hatherley
… but I can’t find a drummer.

38

October 25:

Helen Reddy, vocalist
Chubby Jackson, bass
Earl Palmer, drummer for The Wrecking Crew
Chad Smith, drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jon Anderson of Yes, guitarist
Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies, guitarist

39

May 21

Notorious BIG - lead vocals/rapper
Gotye - Vocals
Hilton Valentine (The Animals) - Guitar
Bill Champlain (Chicago) - Guitar
Stan Lynch (Tom P & The Heartbreakers) - Drums
Fats Waller - Keyboards.

Just the idea of Notorious BIG out front with Fats Waller on the keyboards is awesome, even if my other players are not household names.

40

Steven Tyler
Diana Ross
Fran Sheehan (Boston) - bass
Kenny Chesney - guitar
Leslie Mann, Keira Knightley and Bianca Kajlich as roadies.
