We are hoping to find a dynamic, talented, outgoing, good sense of humor, keyboardist with a great stage presence. We are a Berkeley trained drummer/percussionist with great vocal ability exceptional bassist (5 strings of awesome!) A great lead guitarist with jazzy / bluesy vocals and a 6 and 12 string electric (Rickenbackers) and acoustic finger style and steady strumming. All of the band members share a common vision of not just being another "garage band" We focus on arrangement dynamics and great vocal arrangement. We are zero drama, no drugs, no infighting, no egos. We have a great time, practicing and are ready and eager to secure the gigs we have lined up. We realize we may not find the perfect female keyboardist for the band right away, and we can do our gigs as a 4 piece, but we have so many great songs that we want to add that have keyboards and added vocals that we're willing to get someone on board and get them up to speed.
