SEEKING
Vocalist - Soprano, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Vocalist - Alto.ABOUT
The Red Bees are a cover band that performs harmony-driven old rock and roll, including folk-rock and girl-group songs from the '60s. A fair number of curveballs, too.
When the lineup is complete, it will contain bass, drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar/keyboards, and at least two female singers. (The rhythm guitarist and bassist also sing.) Currently seeking a lead guitarist and two female singers.
We'll be happy to get out two or three times a month to play. An acoustic-trio version of the band worked fairly consistently last year, and so we have high hopes for a full electric band.
The band has its own PA, lighting, and practice space in Baltimore City.
