23M Singer-Songwriter Looking For Percussionist For Jamming/Possible Open Mics/Gigs

I am a singer and songwriter who has recorded 2 albums of me playing all instruments (guitar, bass, drums). I really want to play some of these songs live, but am not looking to start a full band right now- I'd just like to get "out there" and play my songs for people in a stripped-down format at open mics/bars across the city.

I am looking for someone who can play a percussion setup with a "gentler" feel, like congas, brushes on a snare, etc., to accompany me on acoustic guitar at open mics, songwriting circles, and smaller gigs playing these original songs and maybe the occasional cover.

We would probably want to get together and practice once a week or so, and try to play whenever we'd both be able to - I know some good open mics/places I've played in the past, we could start at.

Additionally, any other musician who thinks they'd be a good fit for this kind of thing, feel free to message. I'm open to any instrument, but thought the percussion was a good place to start, not looking for someone necessarily with amazing technical skills, but a good sense of timing and rhythm, and willingness to experiment is all that would be necessary.

If any of this sounds cool shoot me a message
