ABOUT

SEEKING KEYBOARD PLAYER WITH VOCALS & LEAD GUITARIST WITH VOCALS;
I am joining my sister in reforming "Mercy", a well-known and respected band with a dedicated following on Boston's South Shore. Helene and I have both been singing professionally all of our adult lives, and she has been in "Mercy" since its inception 10+ years ago. We will be tweaking the previous Classic Rock format to be equal parts Funk, Classic Rock, and Pop and we are in need of a keyboard player who can sing - at least backup but preferably some lead as well. Almost all of the songs are dance songs, recognizable but not the overplayed stuff most other bands are churning out. No drama, no active addicts please. Joy and fun are our goals!

EQUIPMENT

Wireless Shure SM58, wired EV Cobalt Co9, 2 microphone stands, lots of hand percussion, "Bucket o' Words" (lyrics to virtually every song I have ever sung), a sense of humor, grace under fire, the ability to effect quick witted saves, infallible audience rapport, quick reflexes to save the equipment from audience mishaps both intentional and accidental, stamina for those unexpected marathon sets, and always a large hankie to dab the sweat 'cuz I don't stand still on stage (or stay on stage for that matter).
