SEEKING

Vocalist.

ABOUT

Seeking lead vocals:
Newly formed band seeking vocalist. Band is currently 4 members (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards) and we can carry background vocals and perhaps some limited lead vocals, but need someone who can actually sing. If you can also play an instrument (rhythm guitar, harmonica etc...) that is a plus.
Interests are with blues-based Americana rock (the jammier stuff): John Mayer, Clapton, Allmans....

We are seeking seasoned experienced vocal musician that is dynamic and enjoy taking some artistic risks and exploring. Authenticity, vibe and the pocket is the key, not copy/cover or rockstar splash. Commitment is flexible, but start with a few rehearsals maybe twice a month (every other week) and start lining up gigs for perhaps once a month - this is all totally flexible.

Bands to cover is wide open, but if I had name a few I would start with: Clapton, John Mayer Trio (not the soft voiced early stuff), Allman Bros, James Gang, Keb Mo. The idea is not a loyal cover band, but rather a fresh or contemporary approach to some of the (pretty dated) bands I just listed.

I am based out of Warwick NY (Pine Island actually, a hamlet of Warwick) and have a nice, well equipped rehearsal and recording space (cold beer too).
If this sounds interesting to you please send me an email or give me a call: John at 845-238-8616 [email protected]
