Norm + Band in Athens, GA

ABOUT

I'm fronting a band called The Dooley and Baldwin Band as it appears on Spotify. However, we will be changing the name as we finish filling out the band. I have a dozen years experience fronting a seven piece cover band that played party music--mainly classic rock, Motown, and soft rock. However, I've been writing originals and performing originals and covers over the last three years with my nephew and the new musicians we've added to the band. Between our originals and covers, we are an entertaining band that is poised to break out. In our first public appearance performed online (due to covid) as part of the Porchfest Music Festival, we had the fourth most views out of 44 bands. This past year, we were one of 124 bands selected to play Athfest out of over 500 bands that applied. More importantly, we're looking for someone to sing background vocals, as well as share in the lead vocals. Although we are looking for a talented vocalist, being a good bandmate is equally important.
