SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.ABOUT
Looking to assemble an all-pro project featuring the following influences: Blues, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Pop, R&R, Standards, Country and International selections. Have compiled an extensive set list of several hundred songs that caters to a wide range of audiences and am looking to bring together a talented group of musicians to bring it to life.
Initially, we will make extensive use of covers and backing tracks to streamline the band's presence. Additionally, we will incorporate a karaoke feature to our performance. However, as we establish our brand and audience following with a strong core group and a distinctively tight sound, we will be in a position to add additional sidemen and incorporate original compositions into our playlist.
The current lineup includes: male vocalist/front man, rhythm guitar and drums. We are now seeking talented musicians to fill the following roles: first: keys (piano, organ, and synth); Then, lead and bass guitar. In the future, we will expand with the addition of horns: two tenor saxes, trumpet, trombone, harmonica; and vocals: three female backup singers at least one of which can sing leads. All band members should have vocal skills and be able to provide backup harmonies.
Once the core group is assembled (after auditions) practice will begin in earnest until a fair amount of the setlist is down cold. Then, as necessary, probably Once a week. We are searching for seasoned, professional musicians with at least 100 gig experiences and a passion for making great music. Our band is committed to producing a tight, dynamic sound that keeps audiences engaged.
The way I see this developing is playing clubs/bars until we get our brand established, then weddings, corporate and social events, parties, casinos and wine gardens.
Finally, remember that while we want to have fun, we also must maintain a level of showmanship and professionalism. Among other things, this means no drugs or drama. We are here to create great music.
