ABOUT

Trotters Wake is a 5 piece acoustic band playing a lively mix of Irish drinking songs, rebel songs, ballads, and traditional instrumental tunes. Our instrumentation includes acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle, electric bass, piano, bodhran (Irish hand drum), keyboard, and vocals.

A long-time versatile, female member is moving soon who plays piano and electric bass and does some limited lead and backup singing. We are looking for a replacement with the same skills if possible. Must be excellent pianist who can improvise and read sheet music (or play by ear if given a recording). We have some sheet music, but mostly just guitar sheets with chords. Must also play some bass or be able to learn quickly. No instruments? No problem. We have a piano and bass; we just need you! Please audition soon to allow face-to-face time with the current member. Pay varies by gig.
