LOOKING FOR TRUMPET AND TROMBONE PLAYERS
We are a local band that is completing the start-up phase. The band line-up includes lead singer (check out LeVarThomas.com for samples), guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, two saxes, and two female back-up singers. This project is built to feature strong lead vocals, richly-textured backing harmonies, and popping horns over a full rhythm section.

This is an easy-going group of musicians who have extensive prior experience in bands. Members are largely professionals in other fields who enjoy getting together to practice but are committed to playing out. A person who would enjoy being in this band is someone who: likes this type of music; not only wants to play out, but would enjoy working on the band as a social outlet; can be part of an ensemble piece where all players share the spotlight; and is not into drugs or drama. This is a really solid group of people who fit very well together.

Once playing out, the band will likely gig up to three times every two months. The band is built to do well at larger clubs, conventions, industry gatherings, and private parties. The band currently practices weekly with some weeks off as needed. Brass players can work with horns to coordinate parts on their own (to ease up on the practice schedule).

Shotgun (Gerald Levert)
