Rick Rios + Musician in Sterling, VA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am currently the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the band ALL IN (s://./ALLINrocksVA/).
We are a cover band based in Loudoun County (Sterling/Ashburn area).

ALL IN is seeking to create a group of talented female background singers to add solid harmonies, texture and dimension to our Rock Covers. (Think Remedy from the Black Crowes)

The idea is to have 8 to 10 ladies "On Call" so that, given our busy schedules, 2 or 3 could show up to any given gig or rehearsal.

This would be perfect for a busy mom who doesn't necessarily have the time to be a lead singer, but still would like to opportunity to ROCK OUT and have a TON of FUN!!!

Influences

I like anything that gets people up and engaged. I like playing well-known up-tempo danceable or sing-along music. Some of my favorite bands are: Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, STP, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Bon Jovi, Guns 'n' Roses, Metallica. I also like a fair bit of alternative rock from the 80's and 90's such as: Matchbox Twenty, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews, U2, The Cult etc.

My favorite singers/frontmen are: Eddie Vedder, Rob Thomas, Scott Weiland, Dave Grohl, Kurt Cobain, Lenny Kravitz, Billy Corgan and Ed Sheeran; as well as older singers such as Robert Plant, Steve Perry, Jon Bon Jovi, Glenn Frey and even Frank Sinatra.
