Seeking a versatile drummer who enjoys playing in the pocket as well as ambient/theatrical type drum parts. We play covers in bars and originals in listening rooms, as well. We can be found online at myspace.com/lindydobbinsmusic, sonicbids.com/lindydobbins or on our official website at lindydobbins.com. I recommend the myspace page as it has the most media (audio and video). We can also be seen on You Tube using keywords "lindy dobbins."

We only promote our original music online, but we also play covers along the lines of Live, Nirvana, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Hank III, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, Bob Marley, etc. You can view our cover setlist at www.lindydobbins.com/images/ManxSetlist.gif – some are on You Tube, too. We practice on the Mint Hill side of Charlotte once a week and we tend to play out once or twice a week for the most part. We've booked a little over 75 shows this year, but please also bear in mind that you'll need other sources of income – we do make money, but it's not enough to quit your day job. We view the money as more of a bonus than the main motivation and we all have day jobs, so we're looking for a drummer who shares that perspective.

We run the band like a business and as a result we invest a percentage of the money we earn through gigs back into the business to pay for things like recording, merch, etc. We also give the band mate who books the gig an extra cut for doing the extra work. This means a little less money upfront if all you do is show up and play, but we never ask our band mates for money out-of-pocket, either. It also means you can make more money by helping to book gigs.

If you like the music, get in touch with us by emailing auditions@lindydobbins.com and let's talk further. Thanks!
