It depends on what kind of vocalist you are. When you say you are a "solo singer"...does this make you a singer who likes to sing or a soloist (as in opera and the like; and doing solos at churches and school and stuff). If you are just someone who likes to sing and is talking about forming a BAND, ask around; there are tons of garage bands everywhere. If you are a vocalist (yes there's a difference between being a singer and vocalist) and you need a pianist of back-up music, try posting ads for classical musicians. Or try having someone make a cd for you to play with. (not quite like karaoke, just back up music.)

Three ways:
1. Attend concerts for local people and steal their talent.
2. Put out some adverts. This includes newspapers, fliers, Internet posts, whatever. Just get your name out into the mix.
3. Get connections with people in the industry. Artists, managers, or just ordinary people. Talent is distributed randomly, not in any organized way. But if you know where to look, then you can always have success.

You can always post something on the internet, there are TONS of band sites that are posted that are always looking for members, whether its guitarists, drummers, or singers. Here in Hampton Roads, VA we use craigslist.com. Depending on where you're from I'm sure you can find one. And there's always the option of putting an ad in the local paper as well. Good luck!

Go talk with some teachers at a local music store. A majority of teachers teach to make ends meet while they gig out. If they can't do it. They also could have some advanced students that they could refer you to.
I've been teaching at a store for over 10 years now. I can't tell you how often I have had qualified students that I have referred to various singers/bands.

Check out your local music scene. There's probably a few pubs which have 'singers nights' where people can get up and play or sing. They're very useful for meeting musicians.

You can try to go to shows and meet other band members, sometimes they are filling in for other band members. You just meet and tell them your a singer looking to start a band know anybody interested in starting a new project?most will say no but they might refer somebody to you in time or even there band might break up and they call you back.You can post a ad in newspaper.make up fliers and put them in grocery stores,laundry mats,local music stores,recording studios,The only way to make it is work for it the more you put into it the more you will get out of it.
show up early to talk to them,but don't expect them to talk much cause they are busy setting up but do stick around till show is over and they most likely will take the time to talk then.the more you go out and meet people and market yourself the more success you will have in finding great band members with same interest

The Exchange & Mart is published weekly. There is a section dedicated to musicians. Hope this helps.
