Risque Holiday + Band in Pawtucket, RI

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm Francis Sterling and I’m currently 1/3 of a rock trio called Risqué Holiday. I‘m the lead vocalist, keyboardist, and primary songwriter, and my partners in crime are John Marshall (bass/harmonica), and Kaiser Stallman (drums). We're looking for a GUITARIST, preferably with vocal ability, to join us as we get back on our feet.

We have a wide breadth of musical influences across virtually every genre of music, classifiable or not. So far, most of our recorded material is mostly rock-oriented, but the songs Stay Away, Give Me A Reason, and Lightnin' (originals) are representative of a different musical direction that we're evolving into. The live performance was old material. We still have countless riffs, lyrics, melodies, and chord progressions to bring to life. I currently write most of the music, but what really matters most to us is that we can share ideas and create something great together, and have a sense of unity.

To give you some perspective into my personal tastes, some major influences on my singing include Freddie Mercury, Jim Morrison, Lana Del Rey, Karen Carpenter, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Dio.

Where inspiration comes from makes no difference to us; the only thing that matters is making music that sounds good. As music is our lives, our goal is to be a self-sustaining band that gigs and/or tours on a full-time basis.

Most of our recorded material consists of rough self-made demos, but we’d like to eventually record our music in a professional studio. Disclaimer: Midnight Mojo is an old song written by past band members; that video was from a show before John and Kaiser joined the band.
