ABOUT

For all the information you need, please visit .broadrunband. The short version is this. We are currently a 4-piece band with female front. Instrumentation currently is two guitarists and a drummer. One of us two guitarists is playing bass, while the other plays either acoustic or electric guitar. Neither of us is a bass player, so primarily we are looking for a dedicated bass player, but we’ll also consider another bass playing lead guitarist. We have three lead singers who switch off between singing lead and background vocals. We welcome a fourth singer/bass player/guitarist/song writer.

We're currently in the studio recording our first full-length CD. We will on occasion need some additional session artists including all of the instruments checked above. We may need additional players for the occasional concert if the CD has the success we are hoping for.

We are seriously committed to this project. Our long-term goals are to have recording success, recording contract, and a concert tour. With that said, we all work our day jobs for now. We're successful entrepreneurs and professionals, with ample funding for this project. We rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5 until 9.

As far as gigging goes, we play the occasional local bar gig and party scene. We can play small venues as a two or three-piece acoustic act, or full-band large venue. We mix in our original tunes with a varied list of cover songs that range from classic rock, new country, rock and alt rock. We play only songs that we enjoy playing so we don't do Proud Mary, but we do play Brown Eyed Girl. We also play some songs you don't hear often like White Rabit, Sweet Child O Mine (female lead), and even some Led Zep, Stones, and Alice in Chains. It's a fun venture. We only play gigs we want to play as well.

We've been at this for 3-years, and now we're filling in the blanks to complete the project. We just recorded rhythm and vocal tracks for 6 original tunes. We'll be working on these six and an additional 6 - 8 in the coming months. If you have tunes you've written, and they are in the same general direction, we want to hear them and possibly record them. It's all fun, but we're not in it for the short-term monetary gain. If you need a paying gig to pay your rent, this is probably not the band for you. We're thinking a bit more long-term, but with major success arriving in 2013 or 2014.
